Access to University Education in Australia 1852-1990: Changes in the Undergraduate Social Mix.

Anderson, Don

Australian Universities' Review, v33 n1-2 p37-50 1990

The review examines (1) social class and improving access to higher education in Australia from 1852-1945; (2) interventions from 1943-74; and "winners and losers" since the 1960s. It is concluded that, in comparison with western nations, Australian university students are more representative of the general population, and the curriculum is more aimed at practical values.
