A significant work in Australian political and educational history, this edited volume chronicles the sweeping changes in Commonwealth government involvement in education between 1964 and 1976. The collection presents a detailed analysis of the policy decisions, funding reforms, and institutional developments that reshaped Australia's educational landscape during one of its most transformative political eras. Drawing on contributions from leading academics and policy analysts, the volume details the interplay between federal ambitions and state education systems, arguing that this period marked a decisive shift in the Commonwealth's role as an active driver of national education policy. Authoritative in tone and rigorously researched, it remains an essential reference for scholars of Australian federalism, public policy, and the history of education.
