Description	Craig Campbell, Geoffrey Sherington, "Going to School in Oceania (The Global School Room)"Publisher: Greenwood \| ISBN 10: 0313339503 \| 2007 \| PDF \| 340 pages \| 2 MBThis 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.
