    The education system in Australia consists of 12 years of compulsory education, split between primary and secondary school. Primary schools cover years 1-7 for ages 5-12, while secondary school covers years 8-10 compulsory and years 11-12 optionally for vocational training or university entrance qualifications.

    Primary education in Australia runs from years 1-7 for ages 5-12. Schools are organized based on age groups, with students staying in the same class each year. Additional support classes are available for students struggling academically.

    Primary education focuses on core subjects and runs until age 12/year 7. Secondary education begins at year 8 and while years 8-10 are compulsory, years 11-12 are optional but needed to attain higher qualifications. Secondary school has more specialized subjects and vocational preparation.

    The Education System in

    Australia
    The Education System in Australia consists
    of a total of 12 years. Primary schools and high
    schools are based on the age of the student, so that
    every room has the same age group, with a student
    hardly having to repeat a year. The students with
    problems in their studies may be put into special
    classes to help with academic deficits. The majority
    of the children start in the primary school with the
    age of 5 years (year 1) and the child studies in the
    primary school until they are around 12 years old
    ( year 7).
    Primary and Secondary
    Schools
    There are many types of education for children
    up to 5 years, but the main ones are the "Child
    Care" regulated centers or families in registered
    residences who take care
    of the kids in a system
    called "Family Day Care".
    High School
    The student goes for secondary school with
    12/13 years (year 8), and is he/she is only
    compulsorily required to stay to year 10, receiving a
    junior high school certificate but not a high school
    certificate. The year 11 and 12, are optional but are
    required to be successfully completed to attain a
    high school diploma.
    Year 11 and 12
    The results of the last two years of high school
    are the most important ones, as they are the ones to
    be evaluated for entry levels in Universities. The
    results which you achieve for each subject will then
    give you a rank. The board of secondary studies than
    calculates an OP score (overall position) using a
    formula of your high school results and a test called
    QCS (in Queensland) which is taken by every year
    12 in the state, which is used to compare students of
    the same year level between schools.
