However, occasional research from developing countries does surface, often highlighting the scarcity of such studies. The proposed book stands out as a unique contribution, offering a comprehensive exploration of education in Papua New Guinea across millennia. Papua New Guinea's multicultural society, with its relatively recent contact with Europe and the Middle East, provides a fascinating glimpse into the development of education in a country with a colonial past and a smooth transition to independence. The discussion will center on specific areas of mathematics education that have been influenced by policies, research, circumstances, and other factors, with a particular focus on the pressures faced by education in the past one and a half centuries. This volume will serve as a valuable record and critique of the growth of school mathematics in Papua New Guinea since the late 1800s, making it an essential addition to graduate programs in mathematics education, history of mathematics, interdisciplinary fields such as cross-cultural studies, globalization and post\/decolonialism, linguistics, educational administration and policy, technology education, teacher education, and gender studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1150g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 178 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783030909932\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1st ed. 2022\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patricia Paraide,Kay Owens,Charly Muke,Philip Clarkson,Christopher Owens","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44272389390586,"sku":"9783030909932","price":93.93,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_57973c6a-f145-448b-b35b-d7479eadfc45.jpg?v=1686253147","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/mathematics-education-in-a-neocolonial-country-the-case-of-papua-new-guinea-9783030909932","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
