Language, Aid and Literacy: An Outline of Activities in the Solomon Islands.
Moseley, Lesley
Language and Education, v8 n1-2 p41-45 1994
Problems facing the literacy movement in the Solomon Islands are related to communication, economic, and linguistic barriers. The island is linguistically diverse. English is the official language, but a national literacy committee found that only 26% of people could speak English. Improving primary education is a government priority. Training of literacy teachers is problematic. (JP)
