| | | Title | Equity in, and access to, what kind of education?: some issues for consideration in the Pacific Islands | | Author | Thaman, Konaiholeva Helu | | Subject | Education|Aims and objectives|Oceania | | Abstract | Konai Helu Thaman’s article discusses the ‘big picture’, the need for educators in all Pacific Island countries to make the teaching/learning process more aware of and sensitive to the cultural context in which it takes place. This is necessary in order to improve equity and access in education. It is, however, a challenge because of the legacy of western pedagogy which has dominated the formal education systems in the Pacific for so long, and the increasing influence of the industrialised world in so many spheres of life. | | Volume/Year | Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.39, vol.20, no.2, 1998 | | Collation | p. 3-21 ; | | Notes | • Bibliography: p. 19-21. | | | | Filesize | 50848 bytes | | File Format | PDF | | Number of pages | 19 |
