2 hours per week * First semester * Peninsula * Prerequisites: EDN1075, EDN1085
The subject commences by surveying a typical modern Victorian public sector primary school. It establishes the role of the school in relation to the needs of the individual student and the needs of the state. The relationship of this school to the bureaucracy and government is then discussed and its current practice in terms of curriculum development, employment and promotion procedures, enrolment policy, funding and industrial relations delineated. The subject then traces each of these elements, in a broad way, as they have developed in the period 1851 to the present day.
