Proportion of individuals using the Internet (I98)

Outcome indicator
SDG Indicator: 17.8.1
What is the proportion of indigenous individuals using the internet? Q74(LNS)

This question monitors indigenous peoples’ access to all forms of media without discrimination. This reflects the fundamental human right of freedom of expression, and the right to seek and receive information that is included in this right (UNDHR, ICCPR, CRC).
The indicator is aligned with SDG Indicator 17.8.1 on the proportion of individuals using the internet.
Data on this should be generated by the national authorities mandated to do the official monitoring of the achievement of the SDGs against the agreed global indicators (usually National Statistical Offices are in charge), so you need to check whether those official SDG data are disaggregated by ethnicity / indigenous identifier. If they are, you can incorporate the data here. If national SDG data are not disaggregated by ethnicity / indigenous identifier you have to search other relevant sources nationally, such as ministries mandated to govern media affairs, multilateral development actors’ data, or other relevant sources.
Data for this SDG indicator (17.8.1) will be compiled by the ITU at the global level.
If data is available, write the given percentage in the first answer box. If no data is available, mark 0 (zero) in the second answer box. Use the comment box to provide additional observations, as relevant.

Please indicate whether teachers include positive references to indigenous culture, traditions and histories in their teaching - are these issues included in the textbooks they use? Please discuss whether people have specific examples of such positive references, and subsequently assess the extent to which such references are reflected in the teaching.
The response options are:
·       Not at all – the teachers and text books never mention indigenous culture, traditions or histories in a positive sense
·       To a limited extent – sometimes, but we do not have many examples of it
·       To some extent – it happens quite often, we have many examples of it
·       To a considerable extent – it happens a lot, there are so many examples that we cannot mention them all
·       Fully – it happens all the time, and is such an important aspect of the teaching in our schools that we do not necessarily pay special attention when it happens
Here the facilitator may need to assist the community in translating their discussion into the answer option that best reflects their conclusion.

Are indigenous peoples’ cultures, traditions and histories positively reflected in national primary school curricula? Q88(LNS)

This question is related to Article 14 and 15 of UNDRIP, which specify what the right to education means for indigenous peoples. Specifically, the question monitors Article 15(1) of UNDRIP: "Indigenous peoples have the right to the dignity and diversity of their cultures, traditions, histories and aspirations which shall be appropriately reflected in education and public information." Similarly, Article 27 of ILO Convention No. 169 requires that education programmes and services for indigenous peoples shall incorporate their histories, their knowledge and technologies, their value systems and further their social economic and cultural aspirations.
In order to fulfil their duty to provide indigenous peoples adequate education, states must develop diversified, culturally appropriate and locally relevant curricula, thereby promoting respect for indigenous cultures and dignity.
The CESCR General Comment No. 13: the right to education provides guidance on what principles should be followed when implementing the right to education, including acceptability: This principle resonates strongly with UNDRIP Article 15(1), in that the General Comment specifies that for education to be ‘acceptable’ for the recipients, curricula and teaching methods have to be relevant and culturally appropriate to the students.
Data source: National school curricula.
You have five answer-options, ranging from ‘Not at all’ to ‘Fully’. Please mark the one that best reflects your assessment, and use the comment box to provide additional information, as relevant.
