| Title: School changes and the Solomon Islands secondary school principal Author: Maneipuri, Joash, Sanga, Kabini F. Subject: | School principals Education|Solomon Islands Pacific Islanders|Education | Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies vol.24, no.2, 2002 Collation: 40 - 59; Abstract: In recent years there has been a great deal of change in the secondary schools in Solomon Islands as, within a four-year period, 63 community high schools opened their doors to students who would otherwise not have had access to secondary education. The authors of this article examine how this remarkable increase in the number of schools affects the role of the school principals, and suggest that those who understand the changed nature of secondary schooling are more likely to become effective leaders in their schools.

| Title: Secondary school failure in Tonga : implications for in-service and pre-service teacher development Author: Booth, Edward O., Tatafu, Makafalani, Wilson, Michael Subject: | Education|Evaluation|Tonga Dropouts|Tonga Educational tests and measurements|Tonga | Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.36, vol.19, no.1, 1997 Collation: p. 55-81 ; Abstract: Attrition from the (formal) schooling system has long been of concern in our region. Thus Tatafu et al’s report on a study of secondary school dropout and examination failure at the upper secondary level in the Kingdom of Tonga is worthy of close consideration. Possible causes of attrition, such as overly examination-oriented teaching, which leaves less able students (who may be a majority) floundering, were identified in the doctoral study which the article reports on. Among panacea, pre-service teacher training revision is suggested in the light of problems identified by the study.

Subject: | Education|Papua New Guinea Multicultural education|Papua New Guinea Educational anthropology|Papua New Guinea | Volume: Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.45, vol.23, no.2, 2001 Collation: p. 70-90 ; Abstract: The erosion of Pacific cultures by western influences is an issue that has given rise to much concern. Many feel that one way of preserving indigenous cultures is to teach them in school. In Papua New Guinea, there is a strong desire to cling to the various cultures and develop curricula that are responsive to each culture. So writes Michael Mel, but he himself believes this can become counter-productive to promoting multi-culturalism in PNG. Students should be given the opportunity to learn about other cultures, as well as their own.
