The Australian education system is well -balanced and ranks with the best in the world. The teachers focus on developing students' talents and potential, and encourage them to be resourceful and independent in the learning process. The Australian Government plays an active role in maintaining and improving the standard of education. In particular, the Ministry of Education pays close attention to the quality of education offered to overseas students; all programs for international students must be registered with the proper authorities.

Australia presently has 39 universities and several hundred TAFE colleges. With the exception of 2 private colleges, the Australian education system comprises of 6 years of primary schooling (7 in some states), 6 years secondary schooling (5 in some states), 1 to 3 years post-secondary education, and 3 to 6 years of universities.

Australian universities have an international reputation for excellence in many disciplines. Institutions deliver practical and career-orientated training so graduates can be confident they have the skills demanded by employers.

Australia's reputation as an innovative and research-intensive culture is attracting many international students. Each year student and staff exchange programs are forged from Australia's international links with esteemed education institutions in the USA, UK, Canada, Europe and Asia.

Australia has a reputation for adopting new technologies at a faster rate than in most other countries and enters the new millennium with one of the highest rates of Internet access in the world. Facilities for teaching, training and research are world-class in terms of state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms, outstanding libraries and modern technology.

International students in Australia and their parents enjoy a level of service and financial protection that is unrivalled.

Institutions must be registered with the Australian Government and meet special registration conditions enabling them to deliver courses to international students in Australia. Both public and private institutions must meet high standards of quality and ethical practice which take into account such issues as curriculum, qualifications of teaching staff, and facilities including specialist equipment.

Where an Australian university offers courses at an offshore campus or through an agent, the institution will be expected to maintain standards at least equivalent to those provided in Australia and carry full responsibility for all aspects of delivery. However, it is important to know that Australian Government quality assurance measures can only extend to students in Australia and enrolled in a registered institution and course.
