Australian Education System

In Australia you will experience a unique kind of education – a learning style that encourages innovative, creative, independent thinking. You build valuable skills to give you an advantage – academically, personally and professionally. Multicultural Australia is a safe, friendly, sophisticated and harmonious society in which students can learn and travel in an English speaking country.

Australia is a safe country compared to almost anywhere in the world. Crime and political unrest are limited in Australia. Australia has low crime rates and strict gun control laws providing a safe environment. Your study plans and progress are not likely to be upset by political turmoil.

Australians are open, friendly people and you will find a warm welcome in Australia. Australian qualifications are recognised by employers and leading educational institutions in many countries around the world.

Education in Australia is primarily regulated by the individual state governments, not the federal government. Generally education in Australia follows the three-tier model which includes Primary education (Primary School, Public School), followed by Secondary education (Secondary College, High School) and Tertiary education (TAFE, University). Education is compulsory up to an age specified by legislation; this age varies but is generally 15 or 16, that is prior to completing secondary education. Post-compulsory education is regulated within the Australian Qualifications Framework, a unified system of national qualifications in schools, vocational education and training (TAFE) and the higher education sector (University).
