School is compulsory in Australia between the ages of five/six-fifteen/sixteen or seventeen,
depending on the state, with, in recent years, over three-quarters of people staying on
until their thirteenth year in school. Government schools educate about two-thirds of
Australian students, with the other third in independent schools, a proportion which is
rising in many parts of Australia. Government schools are free although most schools charge
what are known as "voluntary" contributions, while independent schools, both religious and
secular, charge fees. Regardless of whether a school is government or independent, it is
required to adhere to the same curriculum frameworks. Most school students, be they in
government or independent school, usually wear uniforms, although there are varying
expectations.
