Should [[Institute of technology]] and [[Polytechnic]] be seperated once again as two distinct pages? This article appears to be struggling to reconcile the two...with only a small mention of their historically vast differences over several decades of their evolution.--[[User:Huaiwei|Huaiwei]] 05:20, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

:Probably what needs to be better clarified is that both terms have been used for both [[University|Universities]] and for what in Australia is called [[Technical and Further Education]] with a more [[vocational education]] focus. Splitting would still require this to be explained. There is substantial overlap as different national education systems tend to use one or the other.

Distinct pages?

Should Institute of technology and Polytechnic be seperated once again as two distinct pages? This article appears to be struggling to reconcile the two...with only a small mention of their historically vast differences over several decades of their evolution.--Huaiwei 05:20, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Probably what needs to be better clarified is that both terms have been used for both Universities and for what in Australia is called Technical and Further Education with a more vocational education focus. Splitting would still require this to be explained. There is substantial overlap as different national education systems tend to use one or the other. Paul foord 13:05, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
