In Australia, about 70% schools are public (government or state) schools. The private (independent and Catholic) school sector makes up the remaining 30%.
About 0.7% of public schools are government selective schools. However, more non-selective schools offer Gifted and Talented Programs including
Select Entry Accelerated Learning in Victoria and Opportunity Classes in NSW.
