Education Act for Indigenous Peoples Article 10

In light of the characteristic cultures of local indigenous peoples and local needs to implement ethnic education, governments at all levels may relax the normal restrictions governing personnel staffing numbers for indigenous key schools and indigenous classes.An indigenous key school that provides elementary and/or junior high school level education may only undergo a merger with another school or close down, if written consent is obtained from at least half of the indigenous people in the school district concerned who have their household registration there and have reached adulthood; the provisions of this article only apply to the junior high school division of an indigenous key school that provides both junior high school and senior secondary school level education.
