Primary Education
Australia’s primary education system is quite comprehensive, it aims to cultivate basic learning and living abilities of children from an early age. The primary education system in Australia varies from state to state or territory, and it normally takes 6 years to complete. The courses in primary school consist of English, mathematics, social studies, art (including music, painting, art crafts, and drama) and health care (including sports and quality training). Under the same level of education, Australian primary school tuition is relatively cheaper than that in China.
