Article 9
The central government shall expand the number of dedicated budget items and allocate funds specially designated for indigenous education. The total amount of such funds shall not be less than one point nine per cent (1.9%) of the total budget of the central competent education administrative authority.
Governments at all levels shall encourage domestic and foreign organizations, groups, and individuals to provide donations to help advance indigenous peoples’ education.

Article 10
Public preschools, non-profit preschools, community and tribal cooperative educare service centers shall be widely established in indigenous peoples’ regions to provide opportunities for children of indigenous people to access educare services.
Indigenous children shall be given preference when places are being allocated for children to attend public preschools, non-profit preschools, community and tribal cooperative educare service centers.
When circumstances are deemed to require it, the government may provide tuition subsidies for indigenous children attending public or private preschools, non-profit preschools, community cooperative or tribal cooperative educare service centers.
The rules governing the provision of such subsidies shall be prescribed by the central competent education administrative authority.
To ensure that young indigenous children have opportunities to learn their own indigenous people’s language, history, and culture, and to integrate each tribe’s desire and capacity to be actively involved, the competent municipal, county, and city authorities shall provide encouragement, guidance, and/or subsidies to legal entities and groups that run community cooperative educare services and tribal cooperative educare services.
If the competent municipal, county, or city authority does not have sufficient available funds to provide the encouragement, guidance, and/or subsidies referred to in the preceding paragraph, the central government may provide subsidies to assist, when deemed necessary in light of the actual circumstances.
The competent municipal, county, or city social welfare authority shall encourage, and guide, and commission or itself operate preschool childcare for indigenous children under 2 years old. The central competent social welfare authority may provide assistance when circumstances are deemed to require it.
