Teaching was aligned with occupational outcomes, research was directed to practical results. Campuses grew and universities became more entrepreneurial. Students had to juggle their study requirements with paid work, and were required to pay back part of the cost of their degrees. The federal government directed this transformation through the creation of a Unified National System. How did this happen? What were the gains and the losses? No End of a Lesson explores this radical reconstruction and assesses its consequences.Higher education and stateAustraliaUniversities and collegesAustraliaHistoryEducation, HigherAustraliaHistoryElectronic books.Higher education and stateUniversities and collegesHistory.Education, HigherHistory.378.94Macintyre Stuart1947-783885Croucher GwilymBrett AndréMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910480971003321No end of a lesson2289978UNINA
