Introduction
Similar to the other developed countries, the schooling system of Australia is mainly
divided into three areas that include Primary School, Secondary School and Tertiary
Education. Dator, (2019) mentioned that teaching resilience is a perception that is belonging
to the area of interest for many researchers. The ecology of resilience can be learned instead
of being taught. Dator, (2019) mentioned that, as a teacher teaching in all levels comprising
the primary to tertiary level the technology or the industrial revolution had a little impact on
the education system of Australia. However, infusion of technology with education system
brought various facilities to the education or schooling system considering the entire world.
Discussion
Farrell & Rushby, (2016) mentioned the impact of digital revolution and technology
is engaged with a direct competition with education without the right knowledge and
struggling skills. There are thousands of universities exhibit the fact that there are no relation
with digital revolution with better degree. There is no technology that can transform better
skills and provide assurance for better jobs and better lives. The digital movement of
schooling system is putting the community into a condition to measure the effectiveness of
the traditional approach of schooling with the recent one. Transformation refers to bringing
change in any existing procedure prevalent within the community. Facer (2018) mentioned
traditional schooling system of Australia is maintaining the concept of preschool that is
kindergarten, primary school and secondary school till now. The researcher also mentioned
that some modification can uplift the teaching and learning procedure of the existing
schooling system. However, Facer, (2016) mentioned that modification does not imply
complete transformation of the existing educational or schooling system. Moreover, the
existing schooling system of Australia is a well known framework maintaining all the

academic standards of the initial stages. However, the schooling system never denied the fact
of bringing modification with the help of recent technology.
Conclusion
As a conclusion, it can be said that, the no community can deny contribution of
tradition in any field of life. Hence, transformation of the schooling system is not completely
appreciated by the researchers. However, they acknowledge the contribution of technology
and revolution within the schooling system to provide competitive advantage to the next
generation of the Australian community.
