| Sumario: | <p id="p1">A common dilemma in developing countries is the desire for economic sustainability while also increasing equitable prosperity. There is need to reform the free capitalist market economy to enable development of a system promoting social wealth and well-being. Quality education is a powerful tool to help achieve this goal. This paper compares Botswana and Fiji, two upper middle-income countries aiming for both economic prosperity and quality education. It focuses on their policy contradictions and their shared problems and obstacles to achieving these goals. Three themes are addressed: sustainability, inclusivity and teacher training. Sustainability is crucial for developing human capital. Underpinning sustainability is inclusivity ensuring equal access to resources, curriculum integration and local knowledge. Last is the importance of training to equip teachers with learner-centred pedagogy.</p> |
