That said, the purpose of this work is to analyze the current situation of indigenous peoples and education in the state of Guerrero. The discussion on this topic allows educational actors and society to reconsider the fact that intercultural dialogue reinforces the sense of belonging and identity of those communities such as the Amuzgos, Mixtecos, Nahuas and Tlapanecos, who have been marginalized. during these last decades. Regarding the methodology, we rely on reflective and interpretive sociology in order to carry out a detailed analysis not only of bibliographic and newspaper sources, but also of the complexities, possibilities and paradoxes of the Mexican educational system.
