EDUCATIONAL VALUES IN AUSTRALIA


Australians are very concerned with education. Education in Australia is free, and the government is responsible for it. Besides the public schools, there are private and catholic schools for people who can afford it. Their educational network is considered one of the best in the world, ranking 8th in a worldwide scale. After primary and secondary education, the one that is given in schools, people go to a university. There are 37 universities in Australia, 35 are public and 2 are private.

Australians know that they have to study, and the reason for this is that this the only way they can compete in this world. Australians know that if they provide public education for their young people and children, they will assure that they have the possib9ilitry to have a future and succeed.

They are so concerned with everybody getting the same education, that recently the government announced that the parents of children who didn’t attend to classes could go to jail for this. I think this is a great thing, because sometimes kids don’t go to study because of their parent’s negligence.

Some people may think that this is too much, and that the government has to understand that not every parent wants the same for their children. We must remember that in Australia lives people from all around the world, and that they may have very different values.

The important thing is that every kid gets education, it doesn´t matter if it comes from the government or from the parents. Education is very important to succeed in this world, and it is even more necessary in a country as competitive as Australia. Parents should thank the opportunity that government gives to them, and complement the education of their children by other means.
