These measures, for the Chinese language education in Australia have played a positive role. However, it should be mentioned that, after all, Chinese language education in Australia is still in the initial stage, although a good momentum, but has many problems, yet I continue to work hard and improve. First, the current number of students learning Chinese is still lower than the Japanese, Bahasa Indonesia and other Asian languages, not to mention significantly lower than the French, Italian and German and other European languages. Even the Chinese children, the number of people learning Chinese is still less than one third. Second, the quality of Chinese education to be improved. Most day schools and weekend courses in Chinese Chinese language education in Chinese schools only in the initial cognitive stage, far short of the daily life and work as a language to grasp the extent of Chinese subjects through high school graduation exams rare. Thirdly, the management of 72 Chinese education system needs to improve and perfect *. For example, set up Chinese language courses of the standard requirements for Chinese teachers and teaching quality control and assessment, and teaching materials, teaching methods, curriculum review, should be a complete set of management system. Another example is large, the interface between primary and secondary school Chinese language education needs to co-ordinate the planning, is still in their repeated for the array and low-level state, the cultivation of human resources for speeding up the Chinese is clearly negative. In addition, the Chinese education urgent need to improve school conditions.

Especially on a weekend Chinese school, the majority of the school classroom by hiring El, weekend classes, school conditions can be quite difficult, lack of teaching materials, teaching aids, teacher training and advanced teaching methods, while not the most important lies in the strong financial support. Obviously, all these issues, and Australia have undertaken the task of Chinese education in the excellent situation facing are disproportionate. Only by fully mobilize all positive factors and overcome difficulties on the road ahead in order to make sustainable development of Chinese education in Australia, to achieve greater results. Chinese language education in Australia has gone for nearly a hundred years of history, and now is standing at a new starting point. With China in the new century strong El interests, Chinese will certainly become a truly global language; Australia's multicultural society has long been an irreversible system in Australia and among the Chinese population is still growing rapidly, Australia and China in political, economic and cultural exchanges in the field of the deepening of the substantial increase in Chinese demand for talent, all Chinese language education in Australia has opened up broader prospects, but also put forward higher requirements. We have every reason to believe that Australia's Chinese language education is entering a new historic stage. Note 'Oc. Y.
