Almost all educational institutions in the territory are located within [[Canberra]]. The territory government ("public" sector) school system is mostly divided into [[Pre-School]], Primary School (K-6), High School (7–10) and [[College#Australia|College]] (11–12). Many private sector high schools include years 11 and 12 and are referred to as colleges. Children are required to attend school until they turn 17 under the territory government's "Learn or Earn" policy.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.det.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/113726/Flyer_-_Learn_or_Earn.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110410020511/http://www.det.act.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0020/113726/Flyer_-_Learn_or_Earn.pdf |url-status=dead |title=Dept of Education & Training. 2011 |archive-date=10 April 2011}}</ref>
