Indigenous Peoples Education Act is the first piece of legislation in Taiwan that takes “ethnicity” as the normative subject. The aforementioned Act has transformed the national indigenous education governance from planned supporting policy to the construction of institutional education rights. The legislative transformations have also testified that the relationship between the state and indigenous peoples has gone through colonial governance, authoritarian rule, and democratization. On August 1st, 2016, President Tsai Ing-wen, on behalf of the government, delivered a national apology to indigenous peoples for the historical injustices the successive authorities had brought upon them. Among its significant influences, the national apology has initiated the 3rd wave of indigenous rights movements. Further, in this regard, the government has launched a series of indigenous legislative constructions, including the revision of the Indigenous Peoples Education Act.
Firstly, this article outlines the historical context of the national indigenous education governance. Next, by reviewing the consecutive “Five-Year Plan for the Development of Indigenous Education” and the Indigenous Peoples Education Act revisions, this article dwelled upon the results from the 2019 amendment. Finally, supplementing with international development trends on indigenous education rights, this article analyzes the reasoning of contemporary indigenous education rights and re-establishes its practical framework. |
