Background & Structure of the Report
Background
This project was commissioned by the Evaluations and Investigations Program of the Higher Education Division of the Department of Employment, Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DEETYA). Its purpose was to collect data on student enrolments in the former colleges of advanced education for the period 1965 to 1973, and to integrate these data with existing DEETYA time series tables. The project was carried out by the Educational Outcomes Research Unit, located in the Department of Education Policy and Management in The University of Melbourne.
Structure of the Report
The report begins with a methodology chapter (Introduction and Methodology) which outlines the methods used in collecting, collating and organising the data. Chapter 2 (Historical Overview) provides a brief overview of the colleges of advanced education and teacher education colleges and places their development in an historical context.
An analysis of the data follows in Chapter 3, comparing project data with Commonwealth Bureau of Census and Statistics (CBCS) figures (where they are available) nationally and state by state. Chapter 3 also seeks to establish principles for integrating data on CAE student enrolments with existing DEETYA higher education numbers.
In the three appendices following, a list of sources and references used is provided, as well as a list of the relevant Commonwealth Acts of Parliament and an example of the letters used to request data from the institutions.
Finally, in Appendix 4, statistical tables and charts outlining enrolments in colleges of advanced education and teacher education colleges on a state by state and national basis are provided. Enrolments in individual colleges are provided in a separate statistical volume (College Statistics), available upon request.
