Drawing on extensive archival sources, Goodman traces the evolution of grammar schools, state high schools, and technical institutions, illustrating how colonial priorities, government policy, and community demand shaped the educational landscape from the earliest days of the colony through to the mid-twentieth century. The tone is scholarly yet accessible, presenting a detailed narrative that situates Queensland's educational progress within the broader context of Australian and British pedagogical traditions. Goodman argues that the tensions between academic and vocational curricula, as well as the competing interests of church, state, and public, were central forces in determining the character of secondary schooling in the region. An indispensable reference for historians of education, policy researchers, and anyone with a keen interest in Queensland's social and cultural heritage, this authoritative study remains a landmark contribution to the field.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750332477659,"sku":"2026200005097-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/f029b5f0-5985-414c-813d-a53d9cf2a483.png?v=1778094373","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005097-secondhand-secondary-education-in-queensland-1860-1960","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
