Australian Primary/Secondary Education 

There are a total of 6 states in the country. Primary and secondary education is the responsibility of the state-level government and social organizations. Therefore, there are some differences in the educational system and curriculum among the states. Grades 1-6 are primary schools.

From Grade 7 to Grade 10 in New South Wales, Victoria, the Capital Territory and Tasmania Junior High School. Several other states are from grades 8 to 10. After the completion of the 10-year compulsory education, most students will enter grade 11-12 of senior high school. This is equivalent to high school in China.

If Australian students want to continue their studies after graduation from grade 12, they can have two choices: first, the vocational education courses; Second, university courses with academic and theoretical nature. The application qualification is based on the grade 12 graduation examination results. Therefore, the courses at this stage are mainly geared to further studies in universities, and also include some professional courses to provide training preparation for some students who want to directly obtain employment upon graduation from high school.
