Foreign Students in Australia

As new visa changes get introduced and competition from the British and North American institutes of higher education increase, there are chances that the Australian education sector may experience a period of steep slump. With losses running up to 2 billion dollars in revenues, Australia is expected to see a 20 percent downfall in foreign student enrolments in coming times.

In another bit of incident that the multi-billion dollar but scam ridden Australian foreign education sector could do well without, news is emerging that a private college in Sydney has gone bust on Tuesday leaving about 500 international students and 35 staff without a clue on what is going to happen to them.

After this weekend’s attack on Indian sting reporter working on a TV program to uncover immigration scam targeting Indian students in Australia, the country today vowed to crack down on migration scams targeting and condemned the attack on the attack on the reporter as ‘cowardly’.

In yet another case that could further damage the already battered image of Australia as a safe destination for foreign students, a young Indian female reporter was attacked while working undercover to expose migration scams targeting overseas students this weekend in Sydney.
