The Indigenous People received nationwide attention last August 13-15, 2008 at the 2nd National Conference on Indigenous Peoples' Higher Education in the Philippines. The University of Southeastern Philippines (USEP) in Obrero, Davao City hosted the Conference with the help of the Pamulaan Center of Indigenous Peoples' Education and in partnership with the Minority Care International (MCI) and the National Commission on Indigenous Peoples (NCIP).

Minority Care International scholars together with guests Dr. Kaye Mizell, Ms. Caroline Johnson and Mrs. Mary Jane Hilton will spend a 3-day camp retreat in the lush Eden Nature Park. MCI brings the scholars with the support of the guests to a annual retreat where they will enjoy nature, foster camaraderie through playing games and cultivate their reading comprehension skills.

Education can alleviate violence almost immediately if the conflict has arisen because of economic, social, or political disparity. Yet, one of the clearest indicators of disparity between the majority and the minority populations is the level of education. In both southeastern Turkey and in the Philippines the illiteracy rate is substantially higher, the quality of education is poorer, and the gender difference is greater.
