Education in Australia is compulsory between the ages of 6 and 15. Most children (about 70 per cent) study in state schools where education is free.
Most Australians live in cities along the eastern and south-eastern coasts. But there are also many remote inland towns on the continent. How are children educated there?
In several states of Australia there are “Schools of the Air”. These schools are situated in the areas far away from the big cities and towns. How do students attending the Schools of the Air get a classroom experience? The easiest thing to do is to use a two-way radio or other means of communication. By listening to the radio, watching TV and video the students learn about the world around them though they stay in their own homes.
There is also “School through the Mailbox” for children who live far away from any school in the area.
Subjects are divided into one- or two-week units. Each unit including new material, illustrations, exercises and tests can be sent to pupils any time.
