“I started the magazine with the aim to give undergraduates of education a voice in the wider education community, last year when I was an undergraduate studying a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) I noticed that the student voice was under-represented and FACULTY, was the means to give us a voice. Now, in my final 8 months of my degree and studying (on the side) an Associate’s Degree in Adult and Vocational Education through Charles Sturt University, I am proud to see what the journal has become. It has become a community of practice between academics, practitioners, professionals and undergraduate students. The response has been fantastic!”
This current issue sees four articles by three undergraduates, two of which who study their Bachelor’s Degree at QUT.
In the past, FACULTY has seen the support of the education community and are continuing to encourage undergraduate to contribute to the journal.
