Abstract

VICTORIA Education Despite almost continuous publicity through summer and winter, spring sighted no resolution of the primary and secondary teachers’ dilemmas. Students of understaffed Newlands High School marched the streets in protest against the loss, through transfer, of a key maths. and science teacher-the Minister for Education said there was a world-wide shortage. Deficiencies in libraries were highlighted by an all-night sit-in a t Melbourne University. The rift between the Victorian Teachers’ Union and the Victorian Secondary Teachers’ Association continued : they could not agree on policy in negotiations with the government for reform of the Teachers’ Tribunal, and the VSTA alone, took strike action for the third time in nine months. Education protest was dominated by the problems of staff shortage and qualifications, salary, the tribunal, conditions in the schools and universities, university quotas which excluded nearly 2,000 qualified people seeking first year places, and the dominating issue of finance in a federal system. More brightly, Mr Rossiter, the assistant minister for education, indicated t h a t the government was looking into the potential advantages of decentralizing the administration of education along NSW lines.
