The Coalition’s proposal to cap international student enrolments at 25 percent has drawn strong criticism from the international education sector.
The Liberal Coalition announced the proposed cap yesterday, aiming to limit the proportion of foreign students in Australian university courses.
Phil Honeywood, Chief Executive of the Australian International Education Association, stated that his organization had not received any prior consultation or official advice regarding the proposed cut in student numbers.
Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s claim that the reduction would help free up housing for young Australians has also been met with sharp criticism from leaders in the higher education sector, who argue that such measures could harm Australia’s global reputation in education.
