Abstract:
In this article, issues of social inclusion and ethnic cohesion in Fijian schooling are examined with reference to the wider political and socio-economic context. The article argues for comparative education to attend more to the socio-historical specificity of particular educational contexts and to the educational effects of globalisation processes and local responses to them (Little, 2000; Crossley & Watson, 2003; Ninnes & Mehta, 2004, and Zajda, 2005).
