A History of Australian Schooling, Allen & Unwin, Crows Nest, NSW, 2014
A social history of school education in Australia, from dame schools and one teacher classrooms in the bush, to the growth of private schools under public funding in recent years. The first systematic history of education published in thirty years, it offers invaluable insights into the issues and debates which characterise one of our most important institutions. (blurb)
