As a foundation school of Macquarie University, the School of Education began teaching in 1967 and soon after introduced the Teacher Education Program. The ongoing success of the Teacher Education Program has been attributed to its integration of academic, educational and professional studies to produce teachers of the highest calibre. The School's stature was further acknowledged when the Special Education Centre was established in 1975. The Macquarie University Special Education Centre was the first centre for special education in New South Wales, one of three in the Commonwealth.
More than three decades on, the School of Education continues to provide high quality undergraduate and postgraduate coursework and research degrees, designed to equip graduates for effective leadership and research positions in the community. The School's postgraduate programs, many of which are taught online, take a comprehensive view of education considering pre- and post-secondary and adult education as well as having a strong focus on school education.
In the School of Education, some research groups hold regular meetings at which staff and postgraduate students talk about their proposed and completed research studies. Postgraduate research presentation evenings are also arranged once or twice a year to enable students to present their proposals to a wider audience.
