dc.description.abstract |
This paper provides a Samoan perspective on education, taking account of the nation’s colonial heritage and the more recent impacts of globalization. Due to social, cultural and political changes, Samoa has a hybrid system of education, similar to that of other previously colonized nations. Colonial influence continues to linger. This influence has been reinvigorated by globalization, contributing to Samoa’s current educational problems. These problems derive largely from the transformation of Samoan cultural and social values that has led from local to more western ways of living. The paper posits that Samoa needs a well-constructed post-colonial education system that embraces global change while preserving local values. |
