Australia
In Australia, Year Ten is usually the tenth year of compulsory education. Although there are slight variations between the states, most children in Year Ten are aged between fourteen and sixteen. Year Ten is the final year of compulsory education in Australia. Students may elect to opt-out of the education program at this point. This leaves the student without a VCE certificate, and most choose to attend TAFE or enter an apprenticeship. Until recently, students that completed Year 10 in New South Wales would obtain their School Certificate.
