The British Colonial Education "Lending" Policy in Cyprus (1878-1960): An Intriguing Example of an Elusive "Adapted Education" Policy.
Persianis, Panayiotis
Comparative Education, v32 n1 p45-68 Mar 1996
During the early colonial period in Cyprus, British officials ignored Cyprus's distinctive characteristics (widespread Christianity and "European" character) and pursued the universal British colonial policy of education "adapted to the (perceived inferior) capabilities and conditions of clients." By 1930, however, political conditions caused a reversal of British policy toward using education to create a politically supportive middle class. (SV)
