Australian qualifications are internationally recognized when seeking employment or further study at leading international universities.
Education: The Federal Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs (DETYA) are responsible for a national education policy and ensure that consistency and standards are maintained through all states and territories. Australians believe that education is a part of their children's birthright and so community involvement in monitoring the standard of education is very high. In Australia, girls are encouraged to reach the same educational level as boys.
