Tertiary Education in Australia: Part II

Pages 303-309 | Published online: 25 Sep 2012
 

Abstract

Australia has no Christian universities or Christian liberal arts colleges other than Australian Catholic University, which has six campuses in five cities. This paper examines one long-term attempt to set up such an institution, which ended in the project being abandoned for lack of progress. Some likely reasons for failure are identified in the hope that any future endeavors might avoid such hindrances.

Notes

It would appear that the presumption of a more Christian basis for universities in the past was unwarranted.

NCICE was set up in 1991 by the Christian Education National Board. In 1996, the National Institute for Christian Education worked with the Institute of Christian Tertiary Education (ICTE) to form the College of Christian Higher Education, Inc. (CCHE) for the purposes of obtaining joint accreditation for courses through the New South Wales Department of Education.

It should not be thought that the divide represented ethnic preferences, as the main supporters of the Dutch school had no Dutch background.
