This book focuses on education in small states. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of different aspects of educational provision in political jurisdictions having a very small population – populations which encounter specific challenges, threats and opportunities. This book presents a balance in regional representation – covering the South Pacific, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe and the Mediterranean. The contributions pay particular attention to basic education, higher education, entrepreneurship training, post-primary education and the impact of globalization on educational restructuring and aid delivery in specific small state regions.
This book was published as a special issue of the Comparative Education.
Peter Mayo is Professor in and Head of the Department of Education Studies, Faculty of Education, University of Malta, Malta. He teaches in the areas of Sociology of Education and Adult Continuing Education, as well as in Comparative and International Education and Sociology in general.
