Mission

Mission
The iCross-Cultural Citizen Project is a cultural anthropology course-based
project meant to raise critical consciousness about the rich cultural diversity in our
indigenous world. Being totally aware of the limitations of being outsiders, we are a
group of multidisciplinary undergraduate students who believe in cross-cultural
sensitivity and participatory agency aimed at disseminating information about
indigenous realities as accurately as possible.

Education

The Basque took education very seriously. They have over 330,000 students in their schools. Just about under 60% of their students attend state schools. In their culture, they have compulsory education which is free education for students from the age of 6 to the age of 16. Their early-learning program has students up to the age of 3. Then, they move to primary school till the age of 12. After that, they go to secondary school where they stay till they are 16. After all of that, they move on to a higher education such as college. The primary school is subdivided into 3 cycles which last about 2 years each.
