Weeks, Sheldon G.
Comparative Education, v29 n3 p261-73 1993
Explores connections between comparative and international studies and educational development in Papua New Guinea during the past 20 years. Argues that fears of "qualification escalation" and overproduction of educated school leavers, influence of foreign advisors, and ignoring of contextual factors have resulted in restricted secondary and tertiary education and shortages of teachers, other professionals, and technicians. Contains 69 references. (SV)
