Hello everyone, in this post I am going to talk about education in Australia.
School system:
Education in Australia has 3 parts; Primary education, Secondary education and tertiary education.
Basically, primary education is elementary education, secondary education is high school and tertiary education is university. Education in Australia is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 15 depending on the state or territory and date of birth.
Literacy rate in Australia:
The literacy rate in Australia for men and women is the same so the literacy rate in Australia is 99% which is pretty good. I think the future of Australia is bright.
Education spending:
Government of Australia spends 4.6% of its money on education however not many children are not going to school. Australia spends a pretty good amount of money on education but still not all children go to school. Australia’s rank on education is 58 which is not good and not bad. It’s in the middle (so-so).
Schools:
The schools in Australia are categorised into two groups: Government schools and Catholic schools. Government schools are free to attend for Australian citizens and permanent residents while Catholic schools usually charge attendance fees. In addition to attendance fees; stationary, textbook, uniforms, school camps are not covered by government either.
I think that children in Australia are so lucky because the literacy rate in Australia is 99% for both boys and girls. Some countries like Africa have so little education, primarily because of poverty. Since Australia is a stable country with an established economy, it's bright.
