Canberra (1)Education in Australia follows the three-tier model which includes primary schooling, secondary schooling and tertiary schooling. All state and territory governments are responsible for the schools within their jurisdiction and provide funding. Public schooling is offered to all children by the government or an institution and paid for, in whole or in part, by state taxes.
Public schools in Australia are run by their respective state governments and offer free education. There are two categories of public schools in the country: open and selective. Open schools accept all students from a government-defined catchment areas and teach using a curriculum in formal schooling set by the states Education Department. On the other hand, selective schools are considered to be more prestigious than open schools because of the high entrance requirements. Entrance to a selective school is highly competitive and applicants will mostly vie for a spot.
School education is compulsory for all Australians, and depending on each state and territory, between certain ages as specified by state or territory legislation. More than 65% of Australians are educated in public schools. Regardless of the type of school, all are required to adhere to the same curriculum frameworks set by their respective state or territory.
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.
