International Perspectives in Postgraduate Education and Training
Edward A. Holdaway (Edmonton, Canada)
Some Prominent Issues in Postgraduate Education in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom
Summary
Increasing interest is being shown in the organization and administration of postgraduate education in western countries, as shown by publications and research on the topic. This article discusses some developments, practices, and issues in postgraduate education in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom based upon the literature and information obtained in research projects. Presentation of some fundamental questions is followed by examination of related prominent issues and practices involving external influences (e.g. , research councils) and internal arrangements (e.g. , postgraduate schools). Central concerns in the three countries, as elsewhere, appear to focus on completion rates; completion percentages; the quality of programs, supervision, and students; and the costs and benefits of postgraduate education.
