Students are considered to have attended lessons by listening to them on the radio - Australia

12:05 / 16.02.2025 571

In Australia, finding a school that meets their child's needs is the first factor that the population needs to consider.


The Australian education system, however, recommends that if a student does not achieve the expected development during the learning process, they switch to another school that is more suitable for their needs.


The school system is divided into three types:


  • Public schools - provide education free of charge or on a minimum fee basis;


  • Private schools - often have high-quality education and modern infrastructure;


  • Catholic schools are based on a national curriculum with an emphasis on religious education.


School education in Australia lasts a total of 13 years and includes preschool (3-5 years), primary school (1-6 grades), high school (7-10 grades), senior high school or college (11-12 grades).


Radio Education - School of the Air


In Australia, some students living in remote areas receive education by listening to lessons on the radio because they do not have the opportunity to attend school, and this is part of the formal learning process.


For students living in remote areas of Australia, a system called the School of the Air was created. This system was established in 1951 and aimed to educate children in remote areas through radio.


Initially, lessons were conducted via shortwave radio, but now they are taught using modern technologies, namely the internet and video calls.


For example, the Alice Springs School of the Air School is located in central Australia and serves students in an area of 1.3 million square kilometers.


Also, Kimberley School of the Air is located in Derby, Western Australia, and educates students in an area of 423,517 square kilometers.
