Across the board, Australians are reading less than ever before, with young men reading the least and older women reading the most.

The trend is reinforced from a young age, with parents more likely to read to their daughters than sons.

Australia Reads, a book industry initiative, is calling for a national strategy that reminds people of the fun and comfort that reading can bring.

Oh yeah our finals also have lower or higher levels. Except for slovene (the main language) which is only on the higher level. And is usually the worst one since Half the grade is a long essay which is of course graded subjectively and there are a lot of parts like pronounciation and other shit which literally cannot be solved 100% correctly since you would have to know the whole dictionary.
