Student Demand Projections: Supporting Analysis: Gippsland Tertiary Education Plan, Daniel Edwards, Paul R. Weldon
Dr Daniel Edwards
There is considerable interest in the provision of, and access to, tertiary education within Victoria by the State Government.

Competition And Choice: Determinants Of Access To University Places Via The Victorian School System, Daniel Edwards
Competition And Choice: Determinants Of Access To University Places Via The Victorian School System, Daniel Edwards
Dr Daniel Edwards
The provision of secondary school education in Victoria has changed substantially over the past 50 years. This thesis examines the consequences of these changes for the academic opportunities of government school students.

Since the mid-1990s, enrolments in government secondary schools have been decreasing. As …
