Question

5. Why didn't some students in Australia go to normal schools?​

Answer 1

Australia is a federation and the six constituent states (Victoria, New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Queensland) are independent and each has its own Ministry of Education. This means that there are differences in the school organization between one state and the other, particularly regarding compulsory school. These differences generally refer to the age of beginning and end of compulsory school, the terminology used to define exams and tests, and the choice of how many and which subjects are considered fundamental.
