Education in South Australia

High school students in Australia are eligible to complete the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE), with many private schools running International Baccalaureate programs.

Public education is free, and while government funding is provided to private schools, parents must generally pay additional fees for their child's attendance at school.

In South Australia it is compulsory for children to be enrolled in school by their sixth birthday.

All people under the age of 17 are required to participate in full-time schooling, training or work for at least 25 hours per week.

The public universities also have other campuses in the metropolitan area, around the state, inter-state and overseas.
