The main motivations when making the decision to leave your home country is the search for a better quality of life for our entire family. It is for this reason why choosing a destination that ensures our basic needs and dreams can come true, is of vital importance. Today, we want to talk to you about Australia from a family point of view as a migratory destination.
Australia is a country that is characterized by having a high quality of life, which is why it is attractive to many families looking for a healthy and safe environment to raise their children. This country can offer you a variety of cities that can meet many needs and help you create the lifestyle that you want. In general, the country has good economic stability, an excellent health system and an education system that is ranked as one of the best in the world. These are considered some of its strongest points, and we believe that they are also the most important at the moment one decides to migrate.
It is very important that you keep in mind that Australia offers you safe learning spaces and endless possibilities to grow in a multicultural and environmentally diverse environment, where you and your family can settle. In this blog we want to talk to you specifically about education, how Australia’s educational system works and why it is worth considering.
Education is a fundamental part in the lives of families around the world, as it is considered a long-term investment in the future of children. The educational system in Australia is recognized worldwide for its excellence and is divided into three levels: primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary education begins at age 5 and lasts for six years, while secondary education is from approximately 12 to 18 years of age. Parents can choose between public, private or religious schools for their children, and the government offers different programs and financial aid for those who need financial assistance.
It is very important that you take into account that in Australia, it is mandatory for children to go to school from the age of 5 until they reach the 10th grade, when students are between 15 and 16 years old. After this age, they can continue their secondary studies or train for work in technical areas, which allows them to have part-time jobs and extra training for their future. In addition to formal education, extracurricular activities are highly valued in Australia. Sports, music, the arts, and volunteering are popular options for children to develop important skills and values that are highly regarded by universities in the long run.
One of the advantages that adapts to your economic capacity is that you can also choose between public and private education. In public schools in Australia (Government Schools) education is offered at no cost, although most schools request some amount of support from the parents for educational and sports programs - as long as you are legally established in the country. On the other hand, you can opt for private schools (Non-government Schools), which are institutions with tuition fees at different price points, depending on the focus, with varied educational programs and services. If you do not have a good level of English, you can request help from the Translation and Interpretation from Australia to contact these schools.
Speaking English is very important, although Australia is culturally diverse, a good level of English will be a requirement for you, and you can choose to study the language with your family during the migration process. There are various programs for you and your children that can expedite the learning and get a better job in the country.
