| Description: |
The South West Pacific region contains countries as disparate as Australia, Fiji, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Samoa, but there are connections between the histories of schooling in these nations. This volume demonstrates the diverse educational experiences and histories of the countries of Oceania. |
| Synopsis: |
The history and current practices for school systems in the countries of the Oceanic region depend on the economic, political, and cultural circumstances of their countries. Divided into four chronological sections - pre nineteeth century, nineteenth century, twentieth century and present times - each chapter traces the factors that have impacted educational philosophy and goals for each country. Identifying available options for students of all economic backgrounds, each chapter also includes a Day in the Life feature that shares with readers what a typical student in that country will experience at their school.; Australia; Fiji; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Samoa |
