An up-to-date account and in-depth analysis of contemporary educational development within the Australia, New Zealand and Pacific region.
This book provides an up-to-date and well-grounded analysis of education in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific, including Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. Leading writers from throughout this region identify contemporary educational challenges, issues, and priorities while drawing upon their own ongoing empirical research. Key themes include the impact of international trends and developments; educational reform and the quality of education; indigenous learning; inclusivity; aid and development co-operation; and the changing role and place of tertiary education. Detailed studies of specific educational systems and developments are considered in the light of broader analyses that run throughout the volume.
A fascinating and useful book that brings together detailed case studies of education in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific with insightful analysis that focuses upon enduring issues of quality and equity, schooling in small island states, and the impact of development assistance upon educational policymaking across the region. This book is written by a team of leading scholars working in comparative and international education, and makes a valuable addition to the field. * David Stephens, University of Brighton, UK *
