Sažetak
The protagonists of the text titled “The Impact of Culture and Local Customs on the Process of Upbringing and Education in Remote Islands of the World” are children inhabiting islands in various parts of our planet. They are able, creative, full of ideas and energy pupils living on the islands scattered on both sides of the equator. Despite many differences among them, such as the climate, culture, language, skin colour, customs, time zones, or the surrounding flora and fauna, they do have a lot in common: young age and growing up in the environment full of tradition, rites and customs. The text is therefore an attempt to analyse the influence of the environment and
national or tribal culture on the process of education of the young generation. For many pupils from the places mentioned in the article the only school they know is their own family house in which they remain because of local customs and religious beliefs. Sometimes the reasons for giving up education are also: the lack of financial means to pay the fee, the necessity to work for a living even by very young children or the distance to the school building which is too far away. Sometimes the continuation of the education process is prevented by premature pregnancy of merely teenage girls or the need for boys to gain skills necessary for tribal initiation.
