Just as campuses are going quiet and Australian international educators are turning their minds to the Christmas BBQ, what should drop but another review from the federal Government.
Not that it's a criticism. This year has seen a huge body of policy consultation and work done on international ed by the feds. It feels like our $30 billion industry is starting to get some of the attention it deserves.
This week's review is a massive one - the Government's response to the Migration Review. It's been described as a "once in a generation" piece of work.
Whilst international education is only one part of the review, there are some significant changes coming for our industry that will certainly have an impact on both students and institutions. So we're fortunate to have Dirk Mulder from Australia's international education news source, The Koala News, on the podcast to break down all the key outcomes and what you need to know.
This is the final episode of Global Horizons for the year. We'll be back in your podcast feed on February 1, 2024. Until then - have yourself a wonderful end to 2023 and a well-earned break.
