    Planning and budgeting in education: V.C.A.H., Burnley
    McSweeney, Peter ( 1987)
    In the proposed research attention is focussed upon the administrative functions of planning, budgeting and resource allocation in education with particular reference to the Victorian College of Agriculture and Horticulture - Burnley Campus. The researcher maintains that these functions are important elements of educational administration which, if done effectively, enhance the overall effectiveness of organisations. Furthermore, it is believed that the individual approach adopted by educational organisations should be developed through a carefully considered policy process. The objective of the proposed research is to discuss planning and budgeting processes applicable to education, including the contemporary version of program budgeting, and to outline the elements to be considered in developing a budgeting model for the Burnley campus. The background to the above analysis will be established through a review of the literature in the field of planning, budgeting and resource allocation in education. An important feature of this review will be the influence of relevant government policy. The methodology used in the study will be a descriptive survey centred around the examination of V.C.A.H. documentation, administrative systems and the interviewing of relevant V.C.A.H. officers. The information provided by this survey will form the basis for an analysis of the existing policies and procedures at Burnley and form the basis for model development.

    Visions, values and versatility: an examination of the management committees in adult education
    Crossing, Elinor Elizabeth Myra ( 1988)
    Adult education in Victoria is community based. An integral part of the adult education system throughout the State are the adult education committees of management. Adult education centres were mostly initiated by these committees and developed in response to expressed community needs. These committees of management are the subject of this thesis. The problems experienced by these committees in the context of a changing adult education scene are examined. In particular, membership of the committees, the roles and responsibilities of committee members, the methods of decision making, the general operation of the committees and the predominance of women in adult education. A management and training strategy that leads to the more efficient operation of an adult education committee of management is proposed. Attention is focused on the committee members for the forty-three Local Advisory Committees to the Council of Adult Education in Victoria. It is hoped that this study will benefit these committee-members and as well, the paid staff who are employed by the committee.
