User guide to Boys Schools

A boys' school is an institution that provides education only to male students. This practice was predominant before the mid-twentieth century and advocated on the basis of tradition and religion in many parts of the world. Despite the growing number of coeducational schools in the country, there are still many exclusive boys schools in Australia.

The Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations is the government agency that leads the country's education and workplace training as well as transition to work. It collaborates with the different government agencies with the states and territories to provide easy access to educational services and support programs to the Australian people. It also aims to increase workforce participation and promote fair work practices in Australia.
