In 1987 the Times Educational Supplement reported that a UK wide survey of Faculties of Education found that 'Monash University in Australia was the surprise rival to Stanford and Harvard'. The faculty soon developed an international reputation for its work in many fields, including science education, mathematics education, educational history, philosophy, sociology of education, special education, social psychology, multiculturalism, learning theory, the education of women, languages and literacy, and social education. This history tells the story of how the Faculty of Education at Monash developed from its modest beginnings to a position of international eminence.
