Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies, Academic Setting to Promote Inclusive and Intercultural Education in Colombia
Abstract
The main objective of this research was to identify the main problems that have slowed down the implementation of the Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies in Colombia since its promulgation (1998). To achieve this purpose, a methodology with a mixed approach was used, through a documentary analysis of laws, decrees, resolutions, and judgments of the judicial branch, as well as international agreements signed by Colombia with incidence in said chair. The main results of the documentary analysis show that, in effect, in Colombian legislation there are various norms that support said chair, among which Decree 804 of 1995 stands out (Presidencia de la República de Colombia, May 18, 1995). In addition to this, a survey was applied to 68 leaders of the aforementioned communities who reside in various regions of Colombia. Among the results of the survey, it stands out that 56% of the ethnic leaders surveyed stated that the Chair of Afro-Colombian Studies has not been implemented in the educational curricula due to a lack of relevant policies and 19% attribute this situation to ignorance on the part of the Ministry of National Education and of the education secretariats on the educational reality that students belonging to those communities experience daily within the educational centers. Finally, it is emphasized that education in Colombia continues to be exclusive due to racial issues and that it is not very open to inclusion, ethnic and cultural diversity.
