Abstract
This article is concerned with the viability of the current French educational system in French Polynesia. By combining limited fieldwork with relevant local empirical data, it critically examines aspects of the French educational system and their implementation overseas. The goal is an illumination of the relationship in Tahiti between locally irrelevant secondary education and limited socioeconomic participation. A brief introduction and presentation of historical context are made, after which problematic educational dynamics are identified. Concerns include the question of language, political idiosyncrasies, the colonial legacy, drop-outs and school leavers, poor educational performance, the problem of redoublement, and cultural unsuitability.
