Epilogue Summary " Over the last decade, Australia has been implementing a nationalcurriculum, moving away from state-based control and marking a dramaticshift in the Australian education system. This raises a number of questions:Why and how did this happen? What were the debates, disputes andprocesses that led to the current version of the Australian Curriculum?To what extent does it meet the future needs of our society? Is it a nationalcurriculum, or do states and territories still retain control? What might orshould happen from here?In this book, many of Australia¿s leading curriculum scholars explore thesequestions. The book will assist in understanding and analysing the debatesand tensions around the Australian Curriculum, how these played out,and how the outcomes of these debates are represented." -- Back cover Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Subject Curriculum planning -- Australia.
