| History : |
The State College of Victoria, Coburg, was established as one of several specialised teacher training facility to meet the need of a burgeoning population in 1959. The original courses undertaken at Coburg were for the Trained Primary Teacher’s Certificate (two years) and the Trained Infant Teacher’s Certificate (three years). These programs were phased out when the new three year Diploma of Teaching (Primary) course was introduced in 1968. Over the years the number and range of programs offered by the college increased, as did the required number of years required to be registered as a primary teacher (from 1978 programs increased to four years in length and were re-named Bachelor of Education) and courses were transferred from the Community Welfare Training Institute. Teacher education remained at Coburg until 1997 when it moved to the Bundoora West campus of RMIT and its new building. The State College is now part of the RMIT School of Education. |
