She urges education policy makers to show more consideration for and tolerance of the realities of teachers and students whose cultural identities are not those that dominate the processes of formal education systems in the Pacific, which are largely based on Anglo-American and Eurocentric perceptions of learning and teaching. | Volume/Year | Directions: Journal of Educational Studies no.40, vol.21, no.1, 1999 | Collation | p. 13-30 ; | Notes | • Bibliography: p. 27-30. | | Filesize | 45113 bytes | File Format | PDF | Number of pages | 18 |
