The school education under the Australian education and training system is divided into a number of phases: Pre-school, Primary, Secondary which includes Post-compulsory, and Tertiary. Education in Australia is compulsory between the ages of 5 and 15. There are three sectors of educational provision available in Australia divided into Secular government-funded, Non-secular catholic and Non-secular independent. There were 9,590 schools in Australia of which 6,970 were government and 2,620 non-governments as of 1999. The Federal Department of Education, Science and Technology symbolize the Commonwealth of Australia and offer national leadership in issues on lifelong education. The Federal government provides funds to states and territories to manage the educational provision within the state or territory. The most important responsibility of the states and territories are funding state government schools. While the non-governmental schools are funded by the federal Australian Government and at the same time also provide supplementary assistance to government schools. Most of the non-government schools in Australia have some religious connection, with approximately two-thirds of non-government school students enrolled in Catholic schools. On an average 68% of the students are enrolled in the state government schools while non-government schools enroll 32% of students. The Australian Universities are exclusively controlled and administered by the Commonwealth of Australia. The non compulsory schooling is from the age 0 to 2 years that includes crèche, long day care and occasional care.
