Abstract
The concern in this paper is with developments in education in Australia, including in teacher education, and especially in Western Australia, for the period 1967-1987. First, the general education background nationally is outlined. Secondly, developments in teacher education nationally are presented. An exposition on developments in teacher education in Western Australia is then provided. This includes the provision of separate accounts of the changes that took place in the field at the precursors to Edith Cowan University, at The University of Western Australia, at what eventually became Curtin University, at Murdoch University, and in the State’s vocational education sector.
