    Skilling the Australian community: futures for public education: a public sector perspective
    Holmes-Smith, Philip ( 1989)
    On November 4th, 1987 a group of public sector representatives met at the University of Melbourne to consider the skills that those entering the public sector required from the public education system. However, the initial debate centred on what was perceived as a fundamental difference between private sector and public sector purposes. After an introductory chapter and the study methodology chapter, the essence of this initial debate is outlined in Chapter Three. This is followed in Chapter Four by the representative group's list of skills and requirements for those entering the public sector. The curriculum and contextual implications associated with this list are then discussed in Chapter Five. Chapter Six is a scenario about the impact on the public education system and youth policy that any resulting changes may have had by the year 1998. Chapter Seven concludes this study with some comments about the possible future problems facing education as the twenty-first century approaches.

    Private schools, impact assessment and the regulatory regime of federal state aid
    Davies, Merryn ( 1989)
    This work addresses a particular aspect of Commonwealth Government education funding policy emergent in the post-Kamel era -- the attitude of successive governments in the .1970s and 1980s to the funding of new non-government schools and to the expansion of the non-government schools sector. It traces in particular the emergence of the notion of "impact", which entailed a concession that the establishment of a new non-government school could adversely affect education services offered by neighbouring schools. Incorporation of impact provisions into formal government guidelines for funding of new non-government schools after 1983 represented one of the more important differences between Hawke Government education policies and those of the former Coalition Government. It is my contention that a focus on this relatively limited policy area maps out a site of intersection of government and non-government school sectors that is comparatively rare in recent documentation of education policy development. The impact policy serves to illustrate the potential friction and abrasiveness involved in the relations between the two sectors; at the same time it can be shown to have contributed itself to the construction of a relationship between the sectors which has gone largely under-scrutinised in past studies of dual sector education provision in Australia.(From Introduction)
