    Is there room for interculturality? Indigenous youth in Peruvian private universities and the scholarship programme Beca 18
    (Routledge, 2024-01-01)
    Applying an ethnographic approach, this study examines recently implemented scholarship programmes for Indigenous people in private higher education (HE) institutions in Peru. Interviews with students and staff, participant observations, and participatory activities reveal distrust of scholarship holders by government staff and programme regulators, who exercise various surveillance and control mechanisms. Staff at private universities hinder cultural diversity among students through segregation or integration strategies to deal with Indigenous students, thereby curtailing an intercultural approach. Indigenous students ask for more integration activities and intercultural dialogues as they claim a lack of adequate support programmes and real inclusion, which leads to higher dropout rates. This study contributes to the recovery of students’ voices and concerns by unveiling persistent inequalities in HE. The findings have implications on policy design that take for granted problematic assumptions riddled with colonial prejudices and privatisation ideologies within the field of HE.

    Persistence, retention, and interruption in higher education among Peruvian scholarship students in a context of emergency remote learning
    (Arizona State University, 2024-08-27)
    In Latin America, higher education inequality disproportionately affects individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and Peru is no exception. Since 2012, the National Scholarship and Student Loan Programme (PRONABEC) has disbursed grants, aiming to enhance access to higher education for impoverished Peruvian young people. However, the unprecedented global health crisis in 2020 significantly affected the university experiences of scholarship recipients, introducing new challenges to their experience of higher education. This study, conducted in 2021, explores the factors influencing the persistence, retention and interruption of university studies among scholarship recipients. This qualitative, biographical study, based on the ecological model of higher education, involved 60 current and former scholarship students from public and private universities in three regions. Findings reveal that scholarships played a financial crucial role in supporting educational goals and institutional supports were pivotal in maintaining student retention. While personal motivation and family support contributed to student persistence overall, certain scholarship recipients faced challenges related to work and family demands.

    Educational Trajectories Among Young Indigenous Women in Amazonia: A Quest for Gender Equity and Interculturality
    (Wiley, 2025-09-01)
    This article examines a growing demand for higher education among Indigenous Amazonian women, exploring their educational goals and the challenges they face. We examine how young women's desire to access new educational opportunities is entwined with an aspiration to become new kinds of persons, but also to support their own communities. We argue that women's demand for education is actively shaping new futures, opening new pathways toward educational inclusion and leadership on their own terms.
