System of Education in Australia
The Australian education system is distinguished from many other countries by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF). The AQF is a national system established by the Australian Government that links courses and qualifications. It covers university, vocational and technical education, and school education.
The Australian education system is divided into a three-tier structure combining of school education, vocational education & training and higher education. Formal education begins with pre-school and is compulsory until the age of 15-16 yrs. The Australian education system encourages the student to actively participate in the process of learning take active part. Students are encouraged to research and analyze course contents independently or in teams.
Universities provide courses and conduct research in a wide range of professional and academic disciplines. They award associate diplomas, diplomas, bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees, and postgraduate diplomas. Some institutions provide specialist training in health sciences or teacher education. Universities recognize the awards of each other. So, for example, a person awarded a bachelors degree by one institution could be accepted for entry to a masters degree program by another. The quality of Australian university qualifications is recognized worldwide.
