Australia's education is renowned worldwide as an effective and well managed system, providing the foundations for a generation of success. 

The 2006 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment), ranked the Australian Education System as 6th for reading, 8th for science, and 13th for mathematics, on a worldwide scale including 56 countries. 

I, as a former VCE student in Australia, applaud the Australian government for their contributions to building future leaders and developing a brighter tomorrow.

However, if Australia is to improver on their current system of education, think about the possible benefits that we as a nation can reap; by setting the standard for a new education system, Australia will have their international reputation bolstered to a new level.
