The article does an admirable work of documenting the Lumad school from a critical pedagogy and social movement perspective, locating the building of schools as one of the repertoire of Lumad resistance developed in the course of their struggle. 
The Lumad school integrates practical knowledge on agricultural production and indigenous histories of resistance into its curriculum, thus serving Lumad community needs, interests, and life-world in the context of continuing land rights struggles.
While state terror and repression has curtailed these Lumad schools, their example demonstrates how schooling based on anti-imperialist, scientific, mass-based perspective provides an environment for learning and critique of oppressive structures.
