Monash University-ACER Centre for the Economics of Education and Training

Clayton campus
This is a cross-faculty and cross-institutional centre. The centre's main purpose is research in the economics of education and training in Australia. The centre was established because of the need for more coherent and sustained research in the field.
The centre formalises links between researchers in different departments at Monash and at the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) and now involves collaboration with the University of Melbourne. To encourage collaboration across the institutions involved, the centre is managed by four co-directors: Associate Professor Gerald Burke, Faculty of Education; Dr Phillip McKenzie, Principal Research Fellow, ACER; Professor Leo Maglen, Department of Vocational Education and Training, University of Melbourne; Professor Chris Selby Smith, Department of Management.
The centre is funded by the Australian National Training Authority as a national key research centre in vocational education and training.
