 In Australia, education is managed by both national and state-level authorities. The Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) provides a national framework for Foundation to Year 12, while state and territory departments adapt it to local contexts. Key curriculum authorities include NESA (NSW), VCAA (Victoria), QCAA (Queensland), SACE Board (South Australia), TASC (Tasmania), SCSA (Western Australia), and the education departments in the Northern Territory and ACT. These bodies oversee region-specific curriculums and senior certifications, such as VCE, HSC, and QCE, ensuring consistent yet tailored education across the country.

In England, education is overseen nationally by the Department for Education (DfE), with schools following the National Curriculum for Key Stages 1 to 4. This curriculum outlines core subjects like English, Maths, and Science, alongside foundation subjects such as History and Physical Education. At the secondary level, students work towards qualifications like GCSEs and A-Levels, administered by exam boards such as AQA, OCR, and Edexcel. Independent schools may opt for alternative curriculums, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge International Examinations, providing flexibility while maintaining high educational standards.
