Education For Development 1985

Released in May 1985, Education for Development, was part of a CEDA Strategic Issues Forum's report.

Released in May 1985, Education for Development, was part of the CEDA Strategic Issues Forum's report on the education policy challenges facing Australia at a time when university was free and public debate over the role of government in higher education was strong.

The report recommended developing education as an export sector, decentralising education bureaucracy, introducing university fees due to the high private benefits that accrue to graduates, along with means-tested scholarships to ensure equity and a student loan scheme.

The report explores a range of issues and includes conclusions by the Strategic Issues Forum Taskforce.
