Structural Change and Curriculum Reform in an Australian Education System.
Carter, David G.
International Journal of Educational Reform, v2 n1 p56-67 Jan 1993
The Australian government's reform policy treats education as a mechanism for economic development. To achieve national goals, the government is stressing skills education, private-sector involvement in skills education, increased participation in education, increased school retention rates, improvement in overall education quality, and development of a national curriculum. Western Australia prefers a unit curriculum arrangement. (24 references) (MLH)
