Despite the recent uproar on a spate of alleged racist attacks on Indians in Australia, and calls to boycott Australia as a study destination by some quarters, there has been no drop in Indian study visa applications for Australia.
'Almost half of them Indians.'
In a shocking report published in Australia’s reputed daily The Age that could not have come at a worse time for the USD 15.5-billion-dollar Australian education industry, reveals that the Australian government has concealed the details of deaths of over 50 foreign students last year.
Australia is finally feeling the heat generated through protests and concerns over attacks on foreign students especially from India. Fearing that applications for admissions to universities would take a hit, Universities Australia, which represent 38 of Australia’s universities have put forward a 10-point action plan for student safety.
