Paradise Lost and Regained: Educational Policy in Melanesia and Polynesia
Francis, Russell
Comparative Education, 14, 1, 49-64, Mar 78
Of concern here are traditionalist educational policies encapsulated in contemporary Development Plans of two Melanesian island-nations, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, and one Polynesian island-nation, Tonga. Such policies ignore new knowledge, new aspirations, new attitudes to school and are inappropriate for current educational needs. (Author/RK)
