Abstract
This issue of the Quarterly Review of Australian Education Vol 1 No 3 1968 provides an analysis of secondary schooling in Australia. The objective of any educational reform ought to be the creation of a school setting more favourable to the learning process and the complete development of the individual student. At present we know little of what are the optimum conditions under which comprehensive secondary schools in Australia operate and a programme of long-term research into such questions as school size, building and patterns of grouping would prove valuable. Change both subtle and marked is taking place at an accelerating rate within the Australian secondary school and what happens in the schools forms the main business of education. The time seems long overdue that we took steps to evaluate it.
