Desarrollo local y derecho a la educación de los niños ngäbe-bouglé panameños en Costa Rica

Abstract

En este trabajo se elabora una descripción del desarrollo económico del cantón de Coto Brus como la razón principal de que los indígenas ngäbebouglé migren de Panamá hacia Costa Rica. Se describe el proceso de migración ngäbe-bouglé y las prácticas de vida diarias en su desarrollo laboral, con el fin de visualizar la actividad de los niños durante los meses de recolección del café, actividad en que participan sus padres. Se investiga lo que establece la legislación costarricense y la de las Naciones Unidas en torno al derecho de todo ser humano a la educación y, finalmente, se realiza una propuesta para el desarrollo de un centro educativo que atienda con programas diferenciados a la niñez ngäbe-bouglé, en cuanto a su derecho de recibir una educación de calidad. Este centro educativo será financiado por organizaciones costarricenses dedicadas a la atención de personas en riesgo social (IMAS [Instituto Mixto de Ayuda Social], PANI [Patronato Nacional de la Infancia]) y por el Ministerio de Educación Pública, además se solicitará un acuerdo entre Costa Rica y Panamá para que el centro educativo tenga el apoyo de ambos países en lo correspondiente a los recursos y la logística cultural.
