2AUSTRALIAN SOCIETY, SYSTEM AND POLICIES
Introduction
The system of education in Australia is one that provides secondary, primary as well
as tertiary education. As argued by Baik et al. (2015), it is the aim of the Australian
government, to provide education that is wholesome in nature to all its citizens (Baik et al.,
2015). This report proposes a detailed and well-integrated framework that the Australian
ministry of education can consider implementing in order to improve or progress on the
existing system of education in the country. The recommendations are made using the
frameworks of school education, tertiary education, distance education and the framework of
the grading system. The report concludes that the Australian government should really strive
in order to make the education system in the country as progress and broad based as possible
and on an equal level with education offered in the UK and America.
1. Evaluation of Frameworks and Theoretical Underpinnings
1.1. The Framework of the Schooling System in Australia
In the view of (Billet et al., 2015), the school system in Australia should be one that is
similar all over the country barring a few territories and states. The school education in
Australia, both secondary as well as primary, should be made compulsory for children
between six and sixteen years of age (Billett et al., 2015). Moreover, it is stated by Dow
(2017), that primary school should be made to run from Kindergarten stage right up to sixth
or seventh grade. The secondary system should be made to run for a period of three to four
years, from the seventh grade to the tenth grade, while senior secondary school should be
made to run for two years, that is, from grade 11 to grade 12 (Dow, 2017).
