Social science and education

Education is the responsibility of the six states and the Northern Territory fundamentally. In the early 1990s, Australia had more than 10,000 state schools in primary and secondary education, with an annual record of nearly 3 million students.

Specialized Schools

The federal government finances the preparatory schools for their defense services, the School of Forestry of Australia in Canberra, and the School of Pacific Administration in Sydney.

College or university

In 1992, Australia had 37 universities among which are two private institutions.

The universities and the Australian higher education institutions offer programs to obtain bachelor's and advanced degrees in a diverse range of fields of study. Australian universities offer programs from Architecture to Zoology.

The diploma is the most common qualification offered in Australia. It also offers specialized research training and career development through Masters and Doctorates.

Certificates are also available university and college diplomas. Diplomas are becoming less common; however, the Associate Degree provides a shorter programin which professionals who wish to continue their careers to pursue a degree.

Australian scientists and researchers have been responsible for major discoveries and technological advances around the world.

The extraordinary diversity of environments with which Australia has is worthy of attention to science, not only here by chance, have developed specific species suchas koalas, platypus and quolls. Australian biodiversity is extreme, and an area so vast, it is not surprising that some species have come to light yet.

To unravel the mystery, the U.S. government has approved an initiative ofEnvironment Minister of Australia, Peter Garrett, who is a total survey of its territory to find new species that biology has not yet discovered.

This is not a survey conducted a few areas, with a few thousand dollars availableand a brief timeline on the contrary, it is extensive coverage of 100% of Australian territory, including areas where being human has not yet set foot, which will run for no less than three years of heavy research and will have 10 million Australian dollars available.

The project, known as Bush Blitz, held eighteen great expeditions with groups of ten to twelve scientists and volunteers, which seek biological treasures, given the extraordinary nature fauna of this country, sure to call attention to themselves.
