Case Study

Extractions: This section contains nine parts: history, phosphate, damage, people, culture, economics, legal issues, settlement, and the future. HISTORY: The story begins in 1908, when the Germans, then in control of Nauru, began to mine the large deposits of phosphate located there. The island fell into the hands of the Australians after their soldiers liberated Nauru in the early months of World War I. The League of Nations subsequently set up a mandate system than Australia, Great Britain, and New Zealand administered together. These three states then set up the British Phosphate Commissioners to deal with the mining operation. In 1942, the Germans seized and occupied Nauru. After World War II, Australia became the chief administrator of the United Nations Trusteeship that included Nauru until independence for the island was granted in early 1968.(1) PHOSPHATE: Nauru's phosphate can be described as a cash crop, because it is the only resource with which the island can sustain an economy. Nauru exports the majority of its phosphate to Australia, which uses it as a fertilizer because its soils are poor for agriculture.(2)
Nauru: Report: Part III: Prospects
nauru does not have a learning culture. This way of life has not yet been developedin the society. Motivation seems to be a significant factor for this.
http://www2.unesco.org/wef/countryreports/nauru/rapport_3.html

Extractions: Part III Prospects In line with community aspirations and national needs expressed at the recent public forum, otherwise known as the National Economic and Development Summit held on the 24 th to the 26 th of February 1999, the Department of Education has redirected its focus and is in the process of redefining its area of focus with attention to points of concern raised in discussions. The education system is expected to respond by gearing its programmes that will prepare its citizens to cope with the changing economic and social conditions of the country. At the National Economic and Development Summit held in February of this year the point was stressed that Nauru could no longer live on the overseas investments from the days of phosphate mining. There will consequently be drastic changes to consumption levels, individual and community attitudes and the way of life of most Nauruans. It was also stated that there is no cultural background for private enterprise in Nauru so training and exposure to commercial experience is needed to equip suitable Nauruans for a business career in competition with foreign owned enterprises. Nauru has yet to show that it can come to grips with the problem of adjusting to reality after many years of prosperity. Education will be required to assist the community to come to terms with this adjustment. Unemployment, breakdown of family life and juvenile delinquency are closely linked. People may be unemployed because they do not want to work or because they cannot find work. Both apply to Nauru and both have to be tackled in a healthy society. Attitudes to work have to change through education and training and jobs have to be created in genuinely productive activities in a more diversified economy. Nauruan culture and society is under strain in transition to an uncertain future and those most at risk are the young, who, with the changing attitudes of the day do not have the full understanding of their cultural heritage to support them.
Nauru: Report: Part I: Descriptive Sections
nauru needs to promote learning if it is to develop itself to a standard comparable Itneeds to develop a learning culture, which is not evident at the moment.
http://www2.unesco.org/wef/countryreports/nauru/rapport_1.html

Extractions: Part I Descriptive Section Description of review process: The report is a collective work done by the Education Department with associated Government, non-Government and the public agencies. The 1994 10 year plan was initiated by a public forum, ‘Education for Nauru Now and Beyond 2000". This was followed by a review by public forum in 1997 "Nauru Education for the 21 st Century and subsequently by the National Economic and Development Summit held on the 24 th to the 26 th of February 1999. Goals and strategies have been put in place for 5 years to allow for the changing face and place of education. UNESCO - Apia assisted by providing Mrs. Celia Barelle to help me with the preparation of this report, which is acknowledged with gratitude. The same goes to UNESCO - Apia who organised two Pacific EFA workshops, which enabled the report to be finalized and ready for presentation. Several points were raised in discussions in public forums about how the education system is expected to respond by gearing its programmes to prepare its citizens to cope with the changing economic and social conditions of the country.

Extractions: NAURU PICTURE GALLERY The island of Nauru is well known for the phosphate mining that took place there. Perhaps less well known are the Nauru people who have a very distinct and beautiful history, culture, customs, rituals and lifestyle. They were at one with their island and its surrounds. The images on this Web site are both historical and rare and show the people of Nauru as they existed before 1921. This was a time when their culture, customs and lifestyle had not been excessively disrupted by the phosphate mining and the brutal Japanese occupation during World War 2. This Web site is an important historical and anthropological statement about the Nauruan people. The beautiful Nauru lagoon.

Extractions: The Republic of Nauru, a small Pacific island with approximately 10,500 inhabitants, gained independence in 1968, at which time it adopted a modified form of parliamentary democracy. Nauru has two levels of government, the unicameral Parliament and the Nauru Island Council (NIC). Parliamentary elections must be held at least triennially. The Parliament, consisting of 18 members from 14 constituencies, is responsible for national and international matters. It elects the President, who is both Chief of State and Head of Government, from among its members. The NIC acts as the local government and is responsible for public services. The judiciary is independent. Nauru has no armed forces, although it does maintain a small police force (less than 100 members) under civilian control. The economy depends almost entirely on the country's declining phosphate deposits. Secondary reserves and residual mining may extend the productivity of its mines. The government-owned Nauru Phosphate Corporation (NPC) controls the mining industry. The Government places a large percentage of the NPC's earnings in long-term investments meant to support the citizenry after the phosphate reserves have been exhausted. The Governments of Nauru and Australia reached a $70.4 million out-of-court settlement in 1993 for rehabilitation of the Nauruan lands damaged by Australian phosphate mining. Two new banks opened during the year. Media reports indicate that significant offshore deposits are associated with these new banking facilities. The Government is working with the Pacific Finance Technical Assistance Center (an International Monetary Fund facility based in Fiji) to update its banking regulations.
