Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the answer to each of the

question.

Australia has a well-organized and well-structured education system. The education starts at the age of

five or six, but it may differ by a narrow margin between states. It starts with the preschool education

which is not compulsory and can be offered within a school or separately. The primary and secondary

school encompasses the compulsory education for Australians. There are a large number of primary

and high school across the country with most of them being public schools. It is estimated that public

schools amount to 60% of scholars as opposed to 40% in private settings. All these education providers

must be licensed by the government and must fulfill certain requirements including infrastructure and

teaching. Universities, on the other hand, are mainly public institutions.

The Australian education system has established a standard curriculum so all scholars will be given the

same quality of education. Despite there may be some states at which this curriculum is modified a bit,

but the change is not that significant. The actual curriculum set out in Australia education system is

based on important abilities one must have in his life: Literacy, Numeracy, Information and

communication technology, Critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical

understanding, intercultural understanding.

Vocational and Technical schools prepare students that want to skip the university and want to move

directly to the job market. Actually, here it stands the difference between universities and colleges: the

Vocational and Technical Schools are more oriented in teaching practical skills while university

courses are mainly theory-based to lead students to different academic careers. There are hundreds of

other schools out there that provide technical and further education (TAFE) and vocational education

and training (VET). These schools offer short courses, certificates I through IV, diplomas, and

advanced diplomas.

They

focus on training their students in a particular vocation or just to help their

students get out into the workplace. These schools offer a wide variety of courses and qualifications

attained by these courses can lead to different career pathways to follow afterward.

Australian higher education modernity and

reputation

relies on a huge number of educational

providers including universities and different training organizations. Currently, there are 43

universities across the country. The vast majority of universities are public except two private

universities. The world-class teaching offered is surely

undisputed. Seven Australian universities are

traditionally found at the top 100 best universities in the world which is a sufficient indicator to

highlight their quality.

Besides universities, more than 5,000 training organizations are registered and accredited. Actual

figures show that the number of enrolled students is around 3.8 million with international students

sharing more than half a million. There are also 3 self-accrediting higher education institutions.

Furthermore, dozens of smaller schools do not grant any degrees or have an accreditation – these are

private schools that focus on theology, business, information technology, natural therapies, hospitality,

health, law, and accounting.
