"In Australia education is the primary responsibility of states and territories. Every state funds and regulates schools within its area"
learning and the amount to be paid are determined by the School Board or Council.
Although there is an Australian National Curriculum, it has not been fully implemented and instead every state designs and implements its own curriculum. In Victoria, the Victorian Essential Learning Standards (VELS) is the curriculum framework for Preparatory to Year 10 school level and provides a framework of a set of subjects for teachers to teach. The VELS has six levels, Level 1 to Level 6 whereby each level is completed in two years aside from Level 1 which is done in one year.
