Institute of Educational Administration

Full description

The Institute of Educational Administration was established as a body corporate in 1981 when the Educational Administration Act 1980 was proclaimed. The agency replaced the Council for the Institute of Educational Administration (VA 2312) which had been established by the Minister of Education in 1977.

The objects of the Institute were to:

(a) provide programmes of training and other activities to improve the administrative ability of persons in position of leadership in the field of education, persons aspiring to such positions and other persons interested in educational administration
(b) undertake research to ascertain methods by which the quality of educational administration may be improved; and
(c) advise and assist educational institutions with matters relating to the administration of those institutions.

The Institute was governed by a Council whose membership was limited to a maximum of 25, 20 of whom could be nominated by the Minister for appointment by the Governor in Council and five by co-option.

The Institute was abolished on 30 November 1993 when the Institute of Educational Administration (Repeal Act) 1993 was proclaimed.
