Abstract
This chapter describes current formal bilingual intercultural educational programs throughout the central Andean region (Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru), focusing on both regional trends and developments of bilingual intercultural programs in each one of the abovementioned nation-states. After a brief historical overview, we discuss a number of recent transformations that are purported to offer inclusive education for Indigenous populations in the region. Some of the ongoing pressures, challenges, and expectations placed on language education are also discussed.
