Path to native education Rate: 54321 Font size: | Category: Anthropology | Posted By: admin | Rating:

The article on Tribal Colleges by Native Peoples Magazine clearly illustrates the advantages of tribal colleges and effectiveness of the curriculum. At the time the article was written 32 tribal colleges existed which amounted to 18% of all native people attending college. Not only is there a large percentage of natives attending the college, but the graduation rate is 75% compared to 25% at mainstream colleges. Key advantages of tribal colleges are high graduation rates, one-on-one environment, accessible to natives on reservations, and preservation of native culture. Tribal colleges give native students comfortable environment to further their education, after finishing degrees, many continue their education, or decide to work near home contributing to the community. Opinion - Students continuing education after graduation from a tribal college tend to stay around the area, which I think is important to increase the educational levels in the community bringing a better brighter future.
