The desire for academic excellence in Australian education has gone a long way since time immemorial. It is obvious that school administrators, members of the faculty, stakeholders and the government have spent not only money but also time and effort in order to promote quality and life-long education among secondary and university students.

A number of internal and external factors have to be taken into consideration if one college or university, so desires to get their heads up above the rest of their competitions. Apart from getting a school ISO Certified, educational institutions have to work first on multiple levels of accreditation prior to given either an autonomous status or certain under accreditation certifications from accrediting agencies focusing on higher education trends and concerns.

The process may be painstaking and time-consuming; yet, it would greatly affect students’ academic performance in almost all fields of learning especially in the tertiary level.

These include things like having access to all learning materials needed for a particular course or program offering, a classroom that is conducive for learning, and is equipped with the right technology to facilitate learning. There should also be qualified teachers or professors who are willing to go deep and bounds just to attain the objectives or goals from expected learning outcomes and most of all, the provision of supplementary educational materials and facilities needed to enhance further learning advancements.
