Despite of recent changes in government policy to implement indigenous languages into the nation system.(Santibanez et al., 2005), there have been several challenges because access to education still lower for indigenous population (García& Velasco, 2012). Chiapas is a great example of the great cultural and linguistic diversity that is found in education (García& Velasco, 2012) also, as a result of the assortment of instructive arrangements that have been executed by different performers with an end goal to offer intercultural bilingual training (or educación intercultural bilingüe, EIB) to indigenous understudies. This research will investigate the distinctive endeavors by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN) and the government to make education acceptable to the needs of the indigenous people by looking at some case studies. We will pay attention to public school and schools that were created by the Zapatistas in order to provided quality indigenous education to their community.
