Philippines Australia Although primary education is free and compulsory, many children are not able to go to school because their parents cannot afford to buy school supplies and sometimes children have to work on the family farm or business. Classrooms are often crowded and hot and have few teaching resources. Many children are malnourished and find it difficult to study effectively. Despite these obstacles, 96% of the population aged 15 and over can read and write, considering the importance of education. School attendance is compulsory throughout Australia.
