In 1987, the Times Educational Supplement reported that a UK-wide
survey of Faculties of Education found that "Monash University in
Australia was the surprise rival to Stanford and Harvard." The
former school headmaster Richard Selby Smith, as the first
Professor and Dean, had established the Faculty of Education in
1964 with a handful of staff and students. The Monash graduate
Diploma in Education soon developed a fine reputation. Then, the
Faculty extended its activity into postgraduate courses for
teachers, first at Bachelor of Education and then Master of
Education level, catering, too, for specialist studies in special
education, psychology, and educational administration. The Faculty
soon developed an international reputation for its work in many
fields, including science education, mathematics, educational
history, philosophy, sociology of education, special education,
social psychology, multi-culturalism, learning theory, the
education of women, languages and literacy, and social education.
Fifty years on, the Faculty has spread across campuses at Clayton,
Gippsland, Peninsula, and Berwick, but retained its reputation for
excellence, with a ranking of sixth best in the world. This history
tells the story of how the Faculty of Education at Monash
University developed from its modest beginnings to a position of
international eminence. (Series: Education)
