The Evolution of Australian Education System Ever since the Federation came into being in 1900, Australian education has changed radically. There were only about 6,900 state schools at that time. Secondary schooling was a luxury that only a selected few could afford and enrolled for. In 1910, it was reported that girls and boys would leave the State Schools when they reached the age of fourteen or so. In the following years, there was a drastic evolution of education in Australia. Today, the education system has different levels – preschool, primary education, secondary education, tertiary education and adult education. In 1995, The Australian Qualifications Framework was introduced where it was emphasized that elements like vocational education, training, higher education and school education need to be developed. In 1966, the government signed the Convention against Discrimination in Education to prevent discrimination in the education sector. Its salient features are as follows: - It is compulsory for kids at the age of five or six years to start their education. They need to continue until the age of sixteen or seventeen years. - The schools in Australia belong to the state. 60% are state-owned schools, while the remaining 40% are non-government schools. - Most of the Australian universities are public with structure through programs. subsidized prepared fee loan - The Australian Curriculum for primary and secondary schools – was developed in the year 2010. - Education is the responsibility of the state and hence is funded by the state and territories. The evolution of education in Australia has been such that it now ranks the third-largest in the world, only behind the US and UK. Australia also attracts the highest number of students from other countries for education. As per records, in the year 2019, about 812,000 international students enrolled in different universities and vocation institutes in Australia. The other aspect of the evolution of education in Australia has been that today the country ranks second globally on the UN’s Human Development Index.
