Timor-Leste: Transforming Education Through Partnership in a Small Post-Conflict State

By: Jude Butcher,Peter Bastian,Margie Beck,Tony d’Arbon,Youssef Taouk

This book argues that development aid in small post-conflict states, particularly in the educational field, benefits from a commitment to a shared vision, fostering co-operative relationships and working within local capacity, credibility, and attentiveness to immediate and longer-term development goals. It uses Timor-Leste as its case study of a faith-based partnership in the development of the Instituto Católico para a Formação de Professores (ICFP) at Baucau. The people of what was then East Timor voted overwhelmingly for independence in 1999 and the nation building, including reforming education, in this post-conflict small state began. The book reports how, through the commitment of the partners to capacity building and transforming education, East Timorese staff have assumed positions of responsibility in the Institute. ICFP has received very positive accreditation reports from the national authority in terms of its vision, courses, staff and student quality, and infrastructure. The significance of the challenge and what has been achieved in this teacher education institute is studied against the history of the East Timorese people and the educational policies of their former colonial powers. The history, scope and responsibilities of the partnership reveal how the partners were of one mind in terms of foundational values, institutional deliverables, infrastructure and sustainability for the Institute. This educational capacity building and its outcomes are testimony to the relevance of the development principles of the Paris Declaration and the Accra Accord as well as to the partners’ shared vision as faith-based people and organisations and their commitment to Catholic social teaching.

Leadership Succession in Catholic Schools in New South Wales Final Report

A Research Project on Behalf of Catholic Education Commission - New South Wales, Phase Two

By: Tony d'Arbon,Patrick Duignan,Jack Dwyer,Kim-Maree Goodwin

Fewer people are applying for principal positions in New South Wales Catholic schools. A survey was designed to determine why fewer people were interested so that concerns could be addressed. In other countries, stress, overwork, and salary level are seen as the main deterrents to people seeking principal positions. In addition to the administrative and leadership qualities required of any principal, a Catholic school principal has the additional requirement of commitment to faith and religious practices. The respondents in this survey came from all types of Catholic schools (primary, secondary, systemic, and Congregational) and from all parts in the state. They were asked whether they would be interested in applying for a principalship at some state, whether it was unlikely that they ever would, or whether given the right circumstances and opportunities, they might apply. Certain themes emerged in the reluctance to take on the role. Over time, the principalship has gradually changed from one of religious to lay leadership and to a situation where nearly all principals are members of the laity. The layperson is likely to have family responsibilities, but some respondents perceived that there would be expectations and demands in this role more appropriate for a religious than a lay principal. Respondents who were teachers often did not want to lose close contact with students. Some felt that the salary difference did not match the degree of responsibility. The selection process was seen as too complex, flawed, or intrusive. Female respondents perceived gender bias in the selection process. There was a concern that there was too much red tape and bureaucracy involved in becoming a principal. Despite the concerns about salary, internal rewards, such as the desire to influence and shape others and the chance to make a difference in Catholic education, were positive reasons for wanting this role. The survey responses were analyzed by frequency, cross-tabulations, the General Linear Model form of multivariate analysis, the Oneway analysis, and the Univariate analysis of variance. Includes a 116-item bibliography from phase one of the study. (RKJ)
