AbstractIn her keynote address, Konai Thaman, who holds the UNESCO Chair in Teacher Education and Culture, spoke on making the education environment in the Pacific more culturally democratic. She urges education policy makers to show more consideration for and tolerance of the realities of teachers and students whose cultural identities are not those that dominate the processes of formal education systems in the Pacific, which are largely based on Anglo-American and Eurocentric perceptions of learning and teaching.
