Australia School System

Primary and secondary schools

The Australians think that education is very important for their life and their future. That’s one of the main reasons the Australian government encourage their citizens to send their children to schools as soon as possible.

Mostly student between the ages of 6 and 16 attend primary to Junior High School (Year 10). In these years they study a basic core of subjects such as English, Science, Mathematics, and Social Sciences. They can also study one or two more elective subjects of their own choice such as a foreign language, technical or commercial subjects.

Senior Secondary School covers the last two years of secondary education in Australia, and is the best pathway for entering an Australian university.

Foundation Studies

Foundation studies give international students the knowledge and skills for a smooth transition from learning in their home country to undergraduate studies in Australian universities. Foundation Studies are usually one year in duration and students are assessed and examined by their lecturers. Foundation studies are divided into various streams like arts and science studies.

English Language Schools (ELICOS)

These are specifically for people who come to Australia to study English either for educational purposes or for other reasons. The Australian system of English language training is known as English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS). There are a range of courses including General English; English for Special Purposes; Vacation Courses; and Examination Preparation. The starting dates of courses are fairly frequent and they generally run from 4 to 10 weeks. Many universities and TAFE institutes have ELICOS centres attached to their campuses.

Most TAFE institutes have arrangements with specific universities, enabling students to gain credit for a portion of their study undertaken at TAFE. The VET courses include computing, design, pilot training, business management, hospitality and tourism and many other courses.
