ACER establishes Ken Rowe Fund
Following the tragic death of Dr Ken Rowe in the Victorian bushfires on 7 February 2009, ACER has established the Ken Rowe Fund to commemorate Ken's significant contribution to ACER and to education nationally and internationally. Funds received will be used to support two activities which were close to Ken's heart. They will provide support for research training in quantitative methods (for example, through a scholarship managed by ACER for attendance at ACSPRI courses) and practical support to schools, kindergartens and early childhood centres in the Marysville area. Details of how to donate to the fund are available on ACER’s website.
