I haven't been following the situation much in Australia. Is it becoming like the US where the pressure to cram for frequent tests uses up all the available time and prevents teaching anything else?

Apparently Dubya's "No Child Left Behind" initiative is to blame for most of that. It's a recent thing. The US used to have a world leading educational system.
