Information About

College Of Advanced Education




They were known by a number of different titles:
  • "Colleges of Advanced Education" were generally ex-"Teachers College" that slowly diversified their course offerings after their name (and often concurrent structure) changes. These changes happened at a time when more teachers were being trained than the local market could support.

  • " Institutes Of Technology " were Vocational Education ally oriented and offered a range of courses up to Higher Education level.

  • Other names, often with the title " College " or " Institute " were also used.


This sector ceased to exist when the Hawke - Keating Government s decided to expand university funding. The states, eager to get this funding, merged CAEs either with existing universities or with each other to form new ones. Details of these mergers is available in an AVCC report .

In each state, the most prestigious university that was founded on a core of Institutes of Technology became a founding member of the Australian Technology Network .
