Abstract
  • The study aimed to know the implementation of the Indigenous Peoples Education (IPEd) Program and the support received by the IPEd implementing schools coming from the different stakeholders. The researcher employed a qualitative research design using an exploratory case study. Interview guides were used during the interview of fifteen key informants, and the data were analyzed using the thematic analysis of Braun & Clarke. The results showed nine themes from the different clusters such as governance and management, curriculum and instruction, teacher's development, facilities and management of resources, the role of the culture bearers, parents' support, culture bearer's support, support from the local government units, and support from the other government agencies. It was found that the implementation of the Indigenous Peoples (IPEd) Program is still in the process, and the different stakeholders have a significant role in the program implementation.
