Some Predicted and Unpredicted Changes in Higher Education.
Williams, Bruce
Journal of Higher Education Policy and Management, v18 n2 p139-48 Nov 1996
Predictions made in 1978 about Australian higher education are re-examined. Very inaccurate enrollment predictions are attributed to unforeseen demand and supply influences. The end to the binary system of higher education, a major change in 1989, was not predicted. However, early analyses of relationships between education, employment, and growth; manpower forecasts and educational planning; and credentialism were predicted with relative accuracy. (MSE)
