Australia has 39 universities and more than 230 professional and technical colleges. Among the 39 universities, 37 are government public universities, and their education systems are under the jurisdiction of local state governments. Although the administrative system of each state is slightly different, the overall quality of education is controlled and managed by the Australian government, so all schools can maintain a general but high quality of education. Australian academic qualifications are widely recognized by countries all over the world, including China.

Australia is a country with racial tolerance, and many people come from different racial backgrounds. 1989, Australia's multicultural international agenda, is the basis for the Australian government to implement multiculturalism, and has been supported and encouraged by successive governments. The government has also formulated relevant policies to ensure that this diversity becomes a positive force in Australian society, so that Australians can continue to share the same values, goals and aspirations.
Third, a safe and comfortable living and learning environment.
Life in Australia is mostly relaxed and friendly, and most students with strong independence like the life full of opportunities here. They can take public transport to and from beaches and tourist attractions freely and safely, and participate in colorful cultural activities. Australian cities give people an open feeling, with many open parks and green spaces dotted among them. Convenient transportation can also take you to the national parks in the suburbs of the city without blowing off dust. Australia's society is stable, its people are rich, and all ethnic groups live in harmony, so Australia has always been one of the countries with the lowest crime rate and the most suitable for human habitation.
Fourth, reasonable study and living expenses.
Compared with the United States, Britain, Canada and many other developed countries, the cost of living in Australia is lower. The annual living expenses in Australia are roughly 40,000-50,000 RMB, including accommodation, catering, daily consumption and school supplies. International students can legally work 20 hours a week (full-time on weekends and holidays), with an average hourly income of 10- 15 Australian dollars, which can solve most of the living expenses. Tuition fees vary greatly between schools and majors. Generally speaking, public middle schools are 7000-9000 Australian dollars, private middle schools 13000-20000 Australian dollars, junior colleges are 8000- 12000 Australian dollars, undergraduates 10000- 16000 Australian dollars, and masters/kloc. In short, the annual living expenses and tuition fees in Australia total about 10- 12000 RMB (excluding part-time income), which is still affordable for middle-income families.
