Australia is a country possessing huge diversity of fauna and flora. Its culture is not seeped in past but does proudly withhold its immediate lineage. Education in Australia is no pushover either. It follows a three-tier model. An Australian student runs through primary education, secondary education and tertiary education. Australia has a rather prominent 8th rank when measured against the education systems of the world.

Academic year commences in late January and culminates in the central half of December in Australia. Similarly, universities hold good between February and mid November. At its outset, the schooling routine is part made up of playgroups and part made up of parent-facilitated playschools. Education is mandatory between the age of 6 and 15. While the government schools impart education free of cost, the private school, both religious and secular, ask for a periodic fee.

Both catholic and non-catholic schools can be observed over the periphery of education. State government runs Pre schools in Northern Territory while community groups bring it up within the educational ambit in other states. Australian Qualifications Network oversees the post compulsory education part of schooling and it is an extremely poignant organization in more senses than one.:)
