[@CharliAviless]

 

The United Nations declared the period 2022 -2032 as the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Languages (IDIL) approved with resolution A/RES/74/135[1] with the purpose of preserving the native languages of the world, and whose organization such as UNESCO would be in charge of carrying out related activities. It is important to promote public policies with an inclusive approach and achieve the participation of governments and achieve more sustainable indigenous peoples (economic, social, environmental, etc.) with equal opportunities and recognition of their rights. There is currently a platform that promotes the participation of the global community of indigenous languages[2] within the framework of this International Decade.

In Peru, the linguistic panorama turns out to be very varied, since the country is considered to be multilingual and multicultural, and that, according to the National Document of Original Languages of Peru[3], there are 47 original languages in force, of which 43 are Amazonian and 4 are Andean, with Quechua being the language spoken in most regions of the country. Having current information on the situation of languages in the country makes it important for decision-making and for generating links with other sectors, such as the education sector, which seeks to give better attention to the current demands of girls, children and adolescents with an intercultural and bilingual approach, this prioritized as part of a National Policy for Intercultural Education and Bilingual Intercultural Education approved by Supreme Decree No. 006-2016-MINEDU.

In addition, knowing that there are writing guides and manuals focused on this language is key material and of important use for teachers, as a result of different spaces for co-creation and consensus, as is the case of the Quechua Alphabet Plan, approved with Resolution Ministerial No. 1218-85-ED, and that as these exchanges take place between indigenous leaders, community authorities, among other participants, some modifications of their variants are generated.

It is important to generate initiatives with an intercultural approach because it reinforces the role of inclusion at the educational level due to the participation of those involved (girls, boys and adolescents, parents, tutors, principals, among others) inside and outside the classroom. , recognizing the challenges that exist in terms of learning, and regarding teachers their interest in generating an impact on students through the use of appropriate educational training tools to create knowledge in accordance with the reality where they exercise their functions, promote the integration and participation of the students, as well as proposing strategies towards the adaptation of the study plans according to the worldview of the community, since it is a great job that requires not only the participation and involvement of bilingual teachers, but also for those who are in the process of learning other languages, so having efficient methodological tools that allow generating a validation space with the members of communities, especially recognizing their relationship with education and their current demands, such as participatory processes as part of an educational policy and the promotion of interculturality with a vision of the future. And, as part of the creation of spaces for participation, it would allow students to have better opportunities and learning achievements in the medium and long term, even to face technological development, as long as they preserve their local culture and without impediments from the barrier of other languages.
