- Abstract
This article analyzes the reasons mothers on Easter Island enroll their children in one of the three elementary schools on the island. Even though the public school offers a curriculum closer to the Rapanui language and culture than the other two subsidized private schools, a significant number of Rapanui families choose the latter two schools, which almost all non-local (continental) families also attend. Ethnicity (Rapanui and continental families) is a priority aspect for data collection and analysis in this study. After interviewing 30 mothers from both ethnic groups, including mothers of mixed families, researchers concluded that ethnicity dis- course (we/they) are present in decisions to choose or avoid a school. This discourse intermingles with other social representations of the family and children's future in a globalized world.
