Australian education

Australia not only has the excellence for providing international education but great opportunities also to form a global network. Over the years, the educational institutes of Australia have nurtured the needs of its students by focusing on practical learning and a thorough understanding of different topics.

Like other countries, the education system of Australia is mainly divided into three broad areas - Primary School, Secondary/Senior Secondary School and Tertiary Education.

Primary School: It runs for seven or eight years, starting from Kindergarten

Secondary School: It starts from the years 7 to 10 or 8 to 10 and runs for three or four years

Senior Secondary: It starts from the years 11 and 12 and runs for two years.

Tertiary Education: It includes both higher education and Vocational education and training (VET).

Australia legally has no official language. However, English is by far the most commonly spoken and has been entrenched as the de facto national language since European settlement. Australian English is a major variety of the English language with a distinctive pronunciation and lexicon, and differs slightly from other varieties of English in grammar and spelling. General Australian serves as the standard dialect.
