Australia's education system is divided into four parts.

Australia's education system can be roughly divided into four parts. They are universities, vocational training systems composed of technical and continuing education colleges, English language schools that provide English learning courses for overseas students, and primary and secondary schools that conduct basic education. It is undoubtedly necessary for students to choose to study abroad, fully understand the education system of the destination country, reasonably design their own study abroad programs, and choose their own development direction.

Basic education in primary and secondary education

Australia has six states and two administrative regions. Primary and secondary education is the responsibility of the state-level government and social organizations, so the education system and curriculum vary from state to state.

Primary and secondary education *** 12, from 1 grade to 12 grade (1- 12 years), and some states also include preschool education (k years) in the category of basic education. Compulsory education ends in 10 grade. The courses in grades 1 1 and 12 are roughly equivalent to domestic high schools, mainly for college entrance, including training and preparation for vocational courses.

Comparing our basic education system in China, we will know that there are great similarities and compatibility between Australia and China in the grade setting of primary and secondary schools. In other words, if our domestic middle school students go to Australia to study, they can accurately connect with relevant foreign courses according to their current education situation. For example, students who have finished junior high school in China (equivalent to the ninth grade in Australia) can go to the other party's 10 grade course; Those who have completed the first grade (equivalent to Australia 10 grade) can study at 1 1 grade; However, for students who have finished the second year of high school, if they choose to attend the third year of high school, they can't take it for granted that they can directly enter the other party's 12 grade, but they must study the1/grade course for at least half a year before they can enter the 12 grade. The reason for this is that according to the Australian government's visa regulations, students applying for Australian secondary school visas should apply for the main courses (secondary school courses) for no less than 65,438+08 months. Therefore, even if students have completed their senior two studies in China, they will still have to study the 65,438+065,438+0 grade courses for at least half a year after going abroad. From the above, we can see that for middle school students, if they decide to study abroad, it is actually best to save the most reasonable time and expenses when they are in Grade One. Of course, it's never too late for students who have already read Grade Two and Grade Three, if they haven't paid attention to studying abroad before, but now they have the idea of going abroad. We will also design a reasonable study plan for them according to the situation: in addition to the high school study plan mentioned above, they can actually choose the study route of high school+junior college preparation+university, which can also save students time and expenses.

College of Technology and Continuing Education? Technical and continuing education, TAFE

TAFE is the largest higher education department in Australia, where 70% of Australian high school graduates study. There are more than 200 TAFE colleges in Australia, which are roughly equivalent to higher vocational and technical colleges and junior colleges in China. The courses offered by TAFE are mainly employment-oriented professional training, and many TAFE colleges also offer English courses, 12 grade courses and pre-university courses.

TAFE's diploma qualifications are interoperable and recognized by the whole country. In particular, most diploma courses are recognized by universities, and some credits can be exempted.

According to the Australian government's visa regulations, China students applying for TAFE courses must have completed the third year of senior high school in China and scored 5 or above in IELTS. In recent years, Australia's economy has sustained rapid growth, and there is a big gap in the demand for some professional and technical personnel. After studying in TAFE College, foreign students can easily find jobs in Australia and obtain the status of skilled immigrants. Because the TAFE course is short (generally 65,438+0-2 years) and the tuition is low (60,000-70,000 RMB per year), it is very suitable for those students who are interested in living and developing abroad, but their family financial ability is not enough to pay for all the expenses of studying in foreign universities.

3. University University

There are about 42 universities in Australia, all of which are public except two private universities. The University of Sydney, the University of Western Australia, the University of Queensland, the University of Adelaide and the University of New South Wales are all famous universities in the Asia-Pacific region and enjoy a high reputation in the international academic community.

The undergraduate degree courses in Australia vary according to the length of the subjects. Liberal arts, design and business are generally 3 years; Many courses in science and engineering are four years; Individual medical courses can last for 5-6 years. Australia allows full-time students to work no more than 20 hours a week and can work full-time during holidays.

English Language School English Language School

Australia has a large number of English language schools. For China students, because most of them want to study in universities, TAFE or middle schools, the existence of language schools is a powerful supplement to the English education resources of some major schools. Therefore, when judging whether an English language school is of high quality, besides the hardware configuration and the level of teachers, whether its English courses can be recognized by relevant universities, middle schools and TAFE is also a very important indicator. At present, the English language schools we cooperate with, such as the Australian English Institute, have their English courses recognized by many universities, which also provides our students with more choices to measure their English level besides the single IELTS test.

Public schools are owned and managed by the government, while non-public schools or private schools are privately owned and managed. Generally speaking, private schools are run by churches. Some private schools belong to the network of some churches, such as Catholicism, while others belong to independent institutions.

In most schools, international students account for only a small part of all students, but some schools are almost all international students.

The government supervises all kinds of schools to ensure that they maintain a high level of education.

Thirteen years of school education

Education in Australia has a 13-year academic system, with kindergarten or preparatory classes starting at the age of 5, followed by 12-year primary and secondary school courses. Middle schools in some states start in the seventh year, but high schools in Queensland, Western Australia, Northern China and South Australia start in the eighth year.

After completing the twelfth year, students will graduate from high school and receive certificates issued by the state government. High school education can be recognized by all universities in Australia.

After completing 12 years of high school education in Australia, students can choose a variety of different ways to continue their studies or receive vocational training. Students can continue to study in universities, vocational and technical colleges (TAFE), business schools or other vocational training institutions.

School year; school year; academic year

The school year is similar to that of previous years. It starts in January and ends in mid-December. It lasts about 40 weeks and is divided into four semesters. There are short holidays between semesters and long holidays from 1 February to1month.

Most primary and secondary schools in Australia are day schools. Students go to school during the day and go home after school. There are also boarding schools, mostly private schools. Generally, schools will assist international students to arrange accommodation with some local families in Australia.

The school has classes five days a week, from Monday to Friday. The daily class time varies slightly according to their schools, but it is usually from 9 am to 3: 30 pm.
