Students hear call of Australia

Australia will see a rise in the number of Chinese middle and high school students heading to the country, overseas studies insiders said.

In March 2014, Australia opened middle-school education to Chinese students, allowing them to study in Australian schools from the seventh grade.

"In an era when more Chinese students are going to study overseas at a younger age, the opening of Australian middle schools offers Chinese students and their parents one more good option," Tian Litie, director of the Australian Department of Chivast Education International, a Beijing-based consulting agency, said at the China International Education Exhibition Tour over the weekend.
