Abstract: The author critiques the dominant voices in the educational and colonial past in Kiribati and gives a post-colonial discourse analysis of the contradictory liberalism that began to inform decision-making after World War Two. He suggests that education can become more equitable if students, parents and teachers engage decision-makers in the politics of knowing.
