Education is important thing in our live. As a
developed country, responsibility for education in Australia is divided between
the State or Territory and Commonwealth Governments with funding from both
levels of government. According to the level, education system in Australia can
be divided into primary, secondary, and tertiary education.
The
first group is primary education which is seven years of preliminary courses
where the children commence their education at the age of 5 years old or
Year-1, and will be completing at the age of 12 years or Year-7. This level of
education provides general education for the students and gets them ready for a
role in society and for the next level of education. There are both State and private
primary schools. In the State schools, there are no fees, but parents are
required to pay for uniforms, books and stationery, excursions, and supporting
activities. Private schools do receive government funding, but parents also pay
fees which can vary substantially from one school and the others. A large
number of private schools are operated by the Catholic Education Office. The
fees at that school are often lower than the other private schools. State
schools are free to attend for Australian citizens and permanent resident,
while Catholic and private schools usually charge attendance fees.
The
next group is students move to secondary schools at the age of 12 years old and
it is mandatory to complete their two years of ‘junior high school’ until the
Year-10. After that, they have to decide to discontinue their education or can
pursue their further course of study. The Year-11 and -12 are optional. Students have to accomplish another two years
of ‘high school diploma’. Students leaving their school after ‘junior high
school’ can also go for vocational education, course or for apprenticeship
training to enter the work force. Similar to primary school, there are State
and private run secondary schools. The general rule for applying for admission
to the State schools is that it is the local school for the area in which we
live. However, it is also required be successfully completed to attend a high
school diploma.
And
finally, students choose for their higher education that awards degree for
Bachelors, Masters, and Doctoral studies. Mostly students from overseas come
for education this level. Tertiary education in Australia is within the purview
of the Australian Qualification Framework (AQF), which aspires to integrate
both vocational and higher education into a solitary classification of tertiary
education. When Year-12 is published, some universities will make offers to
students largely dependent upon their final scores. Fees payable for university
courses vary depending upon the university and the course that are taken. As
primary and secondary education, Australia has both State and private
universities that offer to programs called ‘Under Graduate’ and after
graduation courses called ‘Graduate Programs or Post Graduate’.
There
are also many kinds of education in Australia like Kindergarten, Pre-Primary,
and Transition schools. However, the main education is primary, secondary, and
also tertiary education. I think tertiary education in that country is very
popular with its famous universities.
