Thesis (M.A.)--Hofstra University, 2012.

This dissertation examines the discrepancies that exist among Guatemala's indigenous Mayan females in reference to education and the various programs that have been implemented over the years to resolve those differences. The Guatemalan government has made several attempts at incorporating Mayan students, in particular females, into a formal system of education, but has not always seriously taken into account the cultural and linguistic differences. Guatemala's education rates are among the lowest in comparison to the rest of Latin America. They have the lowest enrollment, completion, and literacy rates and the gaps widen with ethnicity and gender. Studies have concluded that poverty, discrimination and a poor quality of education are the reasons for these disparities. Due to age-old stereotypes of gender roles, indigenous females are most adversely affected. Since the signing of the Peace Accords in 1996, Guatemala has seen an increased interest in improving educational programs, but none have made a significant impact countrywide. However, private institutions and NGO's have developed a number of programs targeting indigenous females that seeks to provide better access and quality of education, while also promoting community development. By incorporating Mayan ideologies and using a bilingual program, these institutions have created opportunities for indigenous females to advance academically as well as contribute to their community's progress. With government support these programs could have the positive impact the Peace Accords originally set out to achieve.
