Comment by Gale Mohammed-Oxley on November 1, 2016 at 10:23pm: In the Antillean Caribbean I do not view language as conflict between native and non native people as we have four different languages among the islands. The issue in these islands are ideologies of the North and countries that consider themselves superior because of their size. We can view all countries through this scope and see it is the people because when people share the same values their languages do not hinder progress.

Comment by Glenda Morales de Duchicela on November 1, 2016 at 9:29pm: Inequalities reflect lack of knowledge about our own identity and people. The lack of language contact brings miscommunication, conflic and confusion. We need to educate our people, children in schools, make them feel proud of our differences and similarities. In my country we have a high percentage of native population with richness in customs, culture, languages and land. The actual government has issued policies to respect their lands, to help them improve their academic level and have their intercultural schools for the importance to acquire Spanish as a second language and Kichwa as first.

En Honduras con el Proyecto EducAcción se está desarrollando el Diplomado en Educación Intercultural Bilingüe para Directores Municipales de Educación, con el objetivo de sensibilizar hacia la problamática y desarrollar capacidades para impulsar la educación intercultural.
