Australian children living in the outback or in remote parts

of Australia can have access to education thanks to

Australia School of the Air.

Schoolchildren living in the Northern Territory for

example, attend the SOA daily as they live too far from
the nearest local town schools.

Teachers teach children in remote Australia via satellite

telephones, radio or the Internet.

Thanks to the SOA , isolated schoolchildren can get an

education by using a radio receiver to communicate with
the school teachers and their classmates.

They are special distance learning schools which have

revolutionized education in Australia.

It is an effective and a reliable teaching method .
