Quality of Education in Australia


Australia offers world's best practice in quality assurance of education and training. The education system is subject to continuous checks and controls by government, industry and professional bodies to maintain and improve its already high standards.That`s why students in Australia are accustomed to rely on themselves, rather than buy assignment online. Although there are still resources where you can buy assignments and they are of good quality.

Maintaining and improving high quality

Quality assurance in Australian higher education is based on a strong partnership between the Australian Government, Australian State and Territory Governments and the higher education sector. This partnership includes nationally consistent standards and criteria in approval and accreditation, external monitoring and independent quality audit.

The Australian Universities Quality Agency (AUQA) is an independent, not-for-profit national organisation that promotes, audits and reports on quality assurance in Australian higher education. AUQA audits also take into account offshore campuses of Australian universities and offshore partner organisations when appropriate. In the vocational education system, the Australian Quality Training Framework provides national standards for the registration and auditing of training providers and for the accreditation of courses.

The Australian Qualifications Framework is a single national system that provides national consistency and flexibility for all nationally recognised qualifications in post-compulsory education and training. The framework:

  • provides an essential role in defining and enabling nationally consistent standards and learning outcomes of qualifications.
  • simplifies international comparison and recognition; and
  • links courses and qualifications;
  • assists learners to plan their career progression, regardless of their life stage or location;
  • supports the development of flexible learning pathways, assisting students to move easily from one level of study to the next and to receive credit for previous study;

The level of service and financial protection offered to international students studying in Australia and their parents is unrivalled. The Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (the Act) requires institutions that provide education to international students to meet nationally consistent standards in education delivery, facilities and services. To ensure national consistency, every education and training provider that seeks to recruit, enrol or teach international students on a student visa, or advertise their ability to do so, must be registered on a Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students. The Act also provides for tuition and financial assurance for international students under a range of different mechanisms.

The Transnational Quality Strategy (TQS) framework protects and promotes the quality of Australian education and training delivered in other countries. The Australian Qualifications Framework simplifies international comparison and recognition of qualifications, ensuring that they are valued and widely recognised. Many institutions also offer programmes that assist international students in their learning, such as Foundation Studies, Study Abroad and English-language courses.

More than 400,000 students from around 200 countries

Australia is one of the world's leading providers of education and training to international students. More than 400,000 students from around 200 countries receive an Australian education each year. Courses are offered both in Australia and offshore.

Significant numbers of students come to Australia from China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, India and Taiwan. Students are attracted to the valuable skills, experiences and qualifications offered by an Australian education. Australia is a safe and friendly destination, a sophisticated and technologically-advanced society, and has a reputation for quality, excellence and reliability in education services. Additionally, Australian institutions have established campuses offshore and created innovative partnerships in other countries to successfully deliver courses in students' home countries.

Australia is culturally and linguistically diverse: one in four, of its 20 million people, is born overseas. Australian teachers and instructors are experienced in communicating with students who are not native English speakers. Students from around the world are drawn to Australia for an opportunity to learn English in an English-speaking country for study, work or travel purposes. In English-language training, Australia's flexible language-teaching institutions cater for every level. English-language colleges provide a wide range of programs including English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS). The training is well developed, and institutions that offer courses to students on student visas are closely regulated to ensure the highest standards.
