Abstract

Welcome to the final issue of the Australian Journal of Education for 2009. As usual, we have a varied offering, and, I think, something to excite and interest most readers. It could be argued that education in the arts has been paid too little attention in this journal, and in other outlets that consider general issues in education. English, mathematics, science and (increasingly) information technology are the curriculum areas that have captured and held the attention of researchers and policy-makers. In this issue, Alan Lee casts a critical gaze on the recent National Review of Visual Education, First we see, and asks a number of tough questions that will provoke and challenge readers.The issues raised are not simply matters for arts educators; if this paper generates serious debate among the wider educational community, it will have served a really valuable purpose. Joy Murray does not shrink from facing the big questions and, in this issue, she asks what evidence exists that the benefits from higher education extend to the wider community.The question matters because important decisions about the funding of higher education are often made on the basis of beliefs about where the benefits accrue.
