    Community Education & People Centred Development
    (1992-06-27) Ahai, Naihuwo
    Although the theme of this conference is "Community Education", this paper will discuss developmental issues for the following reasons: 1. that the primary goal of governments in any country is to achieve a level of improved life style (development) for its people. Education, in whatever form it takes is crucial to the achievement of the country's developmental goal and in a very real sense, the failure of development to benefit the masses is itself a failure of education in meeting the societies developmental needs. Education therefore is an important tool in redirecting development to benefit the measures. 2. that most education systems of Pacific Island Nations have primarily concerned themselves with the production of manpower that engages itself in economic activities geared towards the improvement of the countries overall Gross National Production. Such emphasis on quantitative aspects of development has ignored the qualitative aspects of development. 3. there is a strong need for the redirection of educational goals at the grass root level in line with the peoples needs in development and resource utilisation. These discussions will focus on Papua New Guinea since this in the Pacific country that I am most familiar with but it is hoped that other countries represented at this conference can reflect and draw upon issues relevant to their specific situation.

    No Happy Ending...Using Participatory Research to Produce a Photo-Novel About Unemployment with an English-As-a-Second-Language (ESL) Class
    (International Forum on Participatory Research, 1980) Tobias, Kathleen Jo; Unda, Jean
    This paper discusses the use of participatory research methods, particularly the development of a photo-novel, to address unemployment among immigrant women in Canada. The study examines the socioeconomic challenges faced by immigrant women, including high unemployment rates and workplace exploitation. By combining English-as-a-Second-Language (ESL) instruction with consciousness-raising activities, the project facilitated collective analysis and action among participants. Conducted in collaboration with St. Christopher House and the Toronto Education Board, the project highlights the potential of participatory education to empower marginalized communities.
