Subject:  Statement of Purpose

 

My Introduction

I am XXXXX, holding passport number XXXXX, born on XXXXX, and a permanent resident of XXXXX which is one of the major growing suburbs in the eastern part of Nepal.

Early Childhood education helps children learn useful life skills which is beneficial. These skills help children to become more independent. It will enhance children’s ability to be creative, physical, language and literacy socially and educationally ready for higher leaning goals. Early child care is an equally important and often overlooked component of child development both in developed as well as underdeveloped countries. Relating to my subject of interest, I was really disheartened when I got to know that there are no any children related curriculums in my home country which resulted into opting for higher studies in Australia. I decided to study Certificate III in Early Childhood Education and Care (CRICOS Code 097758G) leading to Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care (CRICOS Code: 108237D) at Global Business College of Australia, Melbourne CBD Campus (337 La Trobe/ 338 Queen Street), Australia.

 I am writing this statement of purpose with an aim to pinpoint the particular reasons for choosing Australia as my study destination, along with the reasons for selecting the specific education provider.

Reason for Choosing Australia for further education

Australia offers an educational experience that makes a real difference. The education systems in Australia mainly focus on practical implementation and its approach to vocational and technical education is now recognized as among the best and most innovative in the world. Institutions deliver excellence with practical and career-oriented training. Furthermore, institutions in Australia offer a wide variety of courses and degrees and we can easily find the fields that are right for us. Students can also take the advantage of the impressive technology and research resources.

Australia, offers a unique kind of education system that encourages one to be innovative, creative and think independently. Australian degrees are accepted worldwide which makes international student like me to choose Australia for further studies. Australian degrees have national and international recognition and follow the national policy of Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) which was first introduced in 1995 and its main objective is to supply contemporary and flexible framework.  The quality assurance system in Australia is unique and international students enjoy an incomparable level of service and financial security. It provides protection for international students through the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) legislation. The ESOS Act sets out the legal framework governing delivery of education to international students on a student visa. It protects the rights of international students studying in Australia. Breaches of the Act are treated seriously and the penalties can be severe. It also provides tuition protection for international students. The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) is a placement and refund service for international students. The principle objectives of ESOS Act and ESOS National Code are to provide tuition assurance and refunds for overseas students for courses, for which they have paid and to protect and enhance Australia's reputation for quality training services and complement Australia's migration laws by ensuring provides collect and report relevant information to student visas.

Being a student, it is my responsibility to look over for the best education provider destination along with an affordable and vibrant stay, anywhere I go. I found Australia a lively, vibrant country with energetic, friendly people. Multicultural Australia is English-speaking and a safe and friendly society in which students can learn and travel freely. It is a multi-cultural, friendly, harmonious society which values the wealth of cultural diversity. Also, the living standard in Australia is amongst the highest in the world. I will also be permitted to work a part time job, which will enable me to offset my living expenses. Last but not the least, Facilities for teaching, training and research services are world class with outstanding libraries, classrooms and modern technology and Australian degrees are accepted and recognized by employers and leading education providers all around the world including Nepal.

Reason for choosing VET:

Vocation Education and Training Courses is practical based courses that develop professional skills helping students to achieve their potential and progress in chosen field. There is a tendency among students to head straight to university after completing their high school. This has been the trend for decades as many believe that it will provide with better career prospects. VET courses are seen as an alternative to students undertaking university studies. As a result, students are prepared to enter work force upon graduation. All these institutions are subject to government regulations to ensure that high quality education is provided to all the students. The key feature of VET education providers are small size class, regular intensive discussion with the students and stake holders, market oriented subject matter and teaching methodology, practical based teaching, one to one training and assistance and above all basic facilities needed for students to be successful.

One of the most important benefits of studying at VET Colleges is it provides practical programs that teach real life skills rather than just theory. Completing a lower-level VET qualification is a great way to ease oneself into study before starting a degree. Colleges offer VET courses with reasonable fee structure with minimum 2 years duration where I can get enough time for practical. The VET courses provide qualitative training which the industry needs with nationally recognized qualification.

 

Why Melbourne?

 When it comes to studying, Melbourne is the first choice for students from different nations. The world also agrees to it and named it as the best city for international students in Australia. Study wise, Melbourne is the second-best city in the world after Paris. The ratings were measured according to the quality of lifestyle, employment, universities and student community. Moreover, Melbourne scored 100/100 in terms of tolerance, the level of social inclusion and the population. Again and again, Melbourne is named among the world's most live-able cities. The title is awarded to the city with the highest score for stability, healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. When we study in Melbourne, we'll be living in a safe and vibrant city that offers world-class study options, services and the widest range of things to do.

Besides, QS World University Rankings 2022 place six Victorian universities in the top 400 ranked universities in the world. The University of Melbourne (#37) and Monash University (#58) are the two Victorian universities in the Top 100. The 2021 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) also ranks six Victorian universities in the Top 400, with The University of Melbourne placed #33 and Monash University ranking #80. Victoria is a global knowledge hub and we attract the world's best academics and researchers. Whether we study involves research, technical training, English language or business you'll learning with the best - on campuses that offer a rich and rewarding student experience. Meanwhile, Melbourne has a comprehensive transport system of trains, buses and trams that make getting around the city easier. With the accessibility of taxis and cycle tracks, the need for a car is minimal in Melbourne, especially when living in the inner-city. With the southern maritime climate, Melbourne has a flicky weather with four seasons in a day but generally has a hot summer and cold and windy weather, Melbourne’s climate is very favorable for Asian students like me. Melbourne is beautiful, safe and relaxing. Moreover, the particular feature that I liked about Melbourne was a 135km extended cycling routes which is still being upgraded by the Melbourne’s government. I feel it will be rather healthy than travelling in trains, although there are other means of transportation abundantly in Melbourne. 

 

Reason for Choosing Early Childhood Education and Care:

The focus upon the proper development of children has always been the least priority of any government so far. The period of birth to six/ seven years of age in child is regarded as the functional period where a child is developed mentally, socially, emotionally and physically, but in this mean time, the concentration which should be upon children is often shifted towards work by every parents. This bitter truth disheartened me and my urge to become personnel in Early Childcare became stronger enough to choose it as my career.

Additional to these, I have always been fond of children and have always wondered their pious thought and ideas. I understand that if the children are given proper guidance and are molded in an appropriate way would get a proper foundation to succeed in later part of life. I suppose, I am a product of the environment I grew up in, since my hobby of caressing children slowly grew into my personal interest for career development. I want to help children develop and grow. I made my attention towards the education of Children and work for their all-round development. I made my mind to pursue a career in Certificate III Early Childhood Education and Care leading to Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care. It has a global scope and caring for and educating young children has always been an integral part of human societies. Unlike other general Child Care Training, quality Early Childhood Education experiences are vital in developing children’s health, well-being and learning. Socialization and interaction with peers, developing cognitive skills to think and problem solve and gaining skills in early literacy and numeracy are all impacted, effecting future outcomes in formal education.

 Reason for Choosing Global Business College of Australia as education provider:

Travelling to Australia for higher education requires credential amount of research and findings especially in terms of fee to be paid, physical environment and also other facilities felt necessary for the all-round development of the student. In this context, I went through various online sites like 

I was attracted to studying at a university at first and found Victoria University and Swinburne University in Melbourne city. Victoria University did not provide the course of Certificate III  for international students.. Swinburne University provided the Certificate III of Early Childhood Education and Care for only 6 months for AUD 8650. The Diploma of Early Childhood Education and Care course is 1 year that costed AUD 17,300. Altogether, studying at Swinburne would have taken 1 and half years which was comparatively shorter period of time than at GBCA. 

I then focused into studying in colleges where I found colleges like: Melbourne City College, Melbourne Polytechnic, Melbourne City Institute of Education (MCIE), Holmesglen Institute and Chisholm Institute. Melbourne City College provides Certificate III of Early Childhood Education and Care for only 28 weeks, as a workshop. But only for domestic students  , The Melbourne Polytechnic institute has only two intakes February and July for 2 years, Certificate III for 6 months and Diploma for 18 months that altogether costs AUD 32,400 meanwhile, GCBA costs me AUD 26,000 for both the courses for 2 years. Besides, Melbourne Polytechnic also provides Bachelor of Early Childhood Education and Care but I was not ready to take the higher education course immediately. . The Melbourne City Institute of Education provided the course for 52 weeks for 2years and costed AUD 30,000, which was expensive than GCBA.  . The Holmesglen Institute on the other hand did not provide the Certificate III course for international students and only provided Diploma for 1.5 years.  

GCBA is a dynamic, cosmopolitan and nationally recognised training organisation located in the CBD of Melbourne, the world’s most live-able city. GBCA is devoted to excellence in teaching, learning, and research. Global Business College of Australia (GBCA) is a doorway to global educational opportunities. GCBA is a part of an international education group listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange – Edvantage Group Holdings Limited. With the values “Innovative Minds, Caring Hearts, Global Skills”, GCBA offers a wide range of innovative and practical nationally recognised qualifications from certificate to diploma levels and short course programs. GBCA is committed to improving students’ practical application abilities and skills, and providing students with high-quality education services to better prepare them for the workplace, and enhance employability. There are currently several programs/tours that students, families, and executives can participate in to simultaneously experience the culture and history in Australia and broaden their horizon in a relaxed and interesting atmosphere. Equipped with advanced technology and teaching facilities,

GBCA aims to create an innovative and educational platform for students to interact, collaborate and engage with students of diversified backgrounds and the broader community in Melbourne, to sharpen students’ cross-culture communication and understanding as well as practical business skills. All trainers at GBCA, selected prudently, possess concrete theoretical and practical knowledge and more importantly, valuable industry experiences allowing them to incorporate insights derived from real-life workplace situations into their teaching. Located in central Melbourne, the college is adjacent to many prestigious institutions, such as the University of Melbourne and RMIT University. Situated in the midst of large shopping centers and famous landmarks such as the Victoria state library, the location provides maximum transportation convenience.

GBCA listens to industry needs and has extensive links with business organisations. This ensures that their qualifications are properly aligned.
At GBCA, I will become workforce-ready, armed with the learning skills and business knowledge required for vocational excellence.

Concluding, it is located in one of the most accessible areas of Melbourne and is connected to all the major public transport routes. Moreover, supermarkets, banks, and post offices are within a few minutes' walk. Altogether, the features of this college attracted me and I ultimately started dreaming to study in this college as soon as I found about it.

Financial Details:

Financially, I will be sponsored by my family. In fact they are the ones who inspired me and encouraged me to travel to Australia for higher study.

As per the financial arrangement, my father earns annually XXXXX from XXXXX. where he works as a post of XXXXX. Also, my mother earns NRs. 3,64,800.00 from XXXXX where she has been teaching and she earns annually NPR 5,15,000.00 form land lease given to XXXXX of XXXXX. She also earns NPR 264,000.00 from the rented house. My uncle on the other hand, earns annually NRs. XXXXX from XXXXX. Thus, as per the exchange rate dated 8th April, 2022, the total annual income of my family amounts to AUD 22,795.74 which I feel is sufficient to cover up my expenses during my study and stay in Australia.

Beside this, my parents have a sanctioned loan of NPR 40,00,000 (Forty Lakhs only) from XXXXX to support me for my tuition fees, living costs and any other costs incurred during my study and stay in Australia.
