Administration

Australia is administratively divided into six states (New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia) and two federal territories (Northern Territory and Australian Capital Territory) structured. Each federal state has its own constitution, which must be in accordance with the federal constitution, as well as its own legislative (parliament) and executive bodies (government). Each state has a governor who represents the British Crown. The states are responsible for internal administration, including the implementation of federal laws. Federal law gave the Northern Territory (1978) and the Australian Capital Territory (1988) extensive rights of self-government (unicameral parliaments, separate government). Jervis Bay Territory, split off from the Australian Capital Territory in 1989, does not have its own self-government.

External territories under Australian administration are: Ashmore and Cartier Islands, Australian Antarctic Territory, Christmas Island, Cocos Islands, Coral Sea Islands, Norfolk Island, Heard Island and McDonald Islands.

Education

Education rests with the states and territories; coordination between the federal government and the individual states is carried out by the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs. School attendance is compulsory from 6 to 15 years of age (up to 16 years in Tasmania and South Australia). Attending school is free. Depending on the state and territory, the primary level is 6 or 7 years of schooling. This is preceded by a one-year compulsory pre-school year. The secondary school follows the primary school with 3 or 4 school years. Upper secondary education comprises the two-year Senior Secondary School, which leads to higher education entrance qualifications or vocational qualifications. In addition to the public schools, there are also private schools, most of which are run by Catholics. For children in sparsely populated areas there are various forms of distance learning (School of the Air), for older children there is the possibility of attending boarding school. There are support programs for the indigenous population for all levels of education.

Vocational training usually takes place at the Technical and Further Education Colleges (TAFE) in the form of full-time courses and in-company training courses. The higher education sector comprises 38 state and two private universities as well as numerous private, mostly specialized higher education institutions. The oldest university in Australia is the University of Sydney (founded in 1850). The usual degrees are Bachelor and Master. Almost 27% of the students are foreigners. Check themakeupexplorer to see Australia Country Overview.
