確かにそうですよね！ 州によって少し規制が違うかもしれませんが、現在のクィーンズランド州の学区制についてはこう書いてあるようです！ You can apply for enrolment at a state school outside of your catchment area, but enrolment is not guaranteed and you will be placed on a waiting list. Applications are processed and assessed in the order they are received. 日本の小・中では学区制が厳しいですが、高校は受験によって学区関係なく受けれますね！
It seems as though most of you guys ended up going to university/college in Australia, despite your guys' mom making it clear that you guys have the option to go in either country. What was the reasoning behind that?
Thank you for the question! We actually dive into this a little more in a future video, but basically it was financially easier for us to go to University in Australia. In Japan, usually the parents pay for the tuition fees, but in Australia, you can use a system called “HECS” which basically means we don’t have to pay the tuition up front, but pay back in bits once we start working. Also, the tuitions fees are cheaper for citizens, compared to what international students have to pay. I am still to this day, paying back my University tuition fees😅 but it means I didn’t have to depend on my parents. That is out reason for choosing Australian University.
@@BigForsythFamily thanks so much! I'm starting to think about where I should go to university as well, and it has occurred to me recently that I'm not limited to Japan or America (I've lived in both countries) and that I have the option to go anywhere in the world. It seems as though HECS is only for Australian citizens as far as I can tell, but it's really interesting to take a look a these things, it really shows just how much a country cares about their citizens' education. (I was starting to get a bit stressed looking at how much student loan debt is affecting people in the US haha)
