The Australian education system starts from pre-school onto “year one” to “year eight”, after which the children progress to “year nine” to “year 12”, also referred to as college education. Upon completion of college education, youths take up apprenticeship, for example in technical colleges, where they learn practical skills. Interestingly, a huge number of university students in Australia are foreigners. Due to the high cost of education in Australia, international students are allowed to work for up to 20 hours a week to service their bills. University fees in Australia are quite high, between 14,000 to 17,000 dollars (Sh1.07 million and Sh1.3 million) per semester.
