When it comes to education options for school-leavers, there are several paths to consider. One common
option is pursuing higher education at a university or college. This path typically involves obtaining a
bachelor’s degree in a chosen field of study, which can provide a solid foundation for various career
opportunities. Universities and colleges offer a wide range of academic programs, allowing school-leavers to
explore their interests and specialize in areas that align with their career aspirations.
Another option for school-leavers is vocational education and training (VET) programs. VET emphasizes
providing practical skills and knowledge that directly apply to specific industries or trades. These programs
offer hands-on training, preparing individuals for careers in fields such as healthcare, information technology,
construction, hospitality, and automotive industries. VET programs often include apprenticeships or internships,
allowing students to gain valuable work experience while studying.
For those who prefer a more experiential approach, apprenticeships can be a valuable education option.
Apprenticeships combine on-the-job training with classroom instruction, allowing school-leavers to earn while
they learn. They provide a unique opportunity to gain practical skills and industry-specific knowledge directly
from professionals in the field. Apprenticeships are available in a variety of industries, such as construction,
culinary arts, electrical work, and healthcare.
Ultimately, the choice of education option for school-leavers depends on individual interests, goals, and
learning preferences. Whether it’s pursuing higher education at a university, enrolling in a vocational program,
or embarking on an apprenticeship, each path offers distinct advantages and can lead to rewarding career paths.
It's important for school-leavers to explore and evaluate these options carefully to make an informed decision
that aligns with their aspirations and sets them on a path to success.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 37 to 41.
Independence and personal choice are considered as a high value on Australians place. Therefore, rather
than telling students exactly what to do, teachers and course tutors give them a few different options and
suggest they pick the one that works best for them. They also expect students to take charge if things don't go
as planned and to find help and support on their own.
Australians are also prepared to accept a range of opinions rather than believing there is one truth. This
means that in an educational setting, students will be expected to form their own opinions and defend the
reasons for that point of view and the evidence for it.
Australians are uncomfortable with disparity in social status and therefore admire the concept of
treating everyone equally. An example of this is how the majority of Australian adults address each other by
their first names. This emphasis on equality results in Australians feeling uneasy about taking things too
seriously and being willing to make jokes about themselves.
Australians believe that life should have a balance between work and leisure time. As a consequence,
some students may be critical of others who they perceive as doing nothing but study. Australian notions of
privacy mean that areas such as financial matters, appearance and relationships are only discussed with close
friends. While people may volunteer such information, they may resent someone actually asking them unless
the friendship is firmly established. Even then, it is considered very impolite to ask someone what they earn.
