This volume represents the first major effort to write an overview
of the history of education in the South West Pacific. The region
contains countries as disparate as Australia, Fiji, New Zealand,
Papua New Guinea and Samoa, but there are connections between the
histories of schooling in these nations. Most of the school
systems, institutions and educational practices discussed in this
volume arose as a result of mainly European or 'western' economic,
missionary and imperial activity in this part of the Pacific world.
However, indigenous peoples also educated their communities before
and after the introduction and adaptation of western forms of
schooling. This volume demonstrates the diverse educational
experiences and histories of the countries of Oceania.
