Abstract
Education has emerged as a central value for Pacific societies in the process of decolonization. Yet, these new governments are faced with the difficulty of reconciling colonial systems of education with indigenous systems of knowledge. Hard choices are being made in terms of the types, extent, and goals of schooling efforts within the context of the overall development in Pacific microstates.
