Murray has it right this time. The for-profit factories are turning out drones who know no more than they did when they enrolled - except for hard Left politics, of course. Foreign student? Back door immigration.

Yes! An a problem made even far worse by reported corruption and plagiarism; study assignments/essays/degrees for sale?

Imagine, a so called doctor with insufficient english to actually carry on a conversation with a patient to discover the cause of his/her problem?

And tasked with applying a surgical procedure to fix it? Oops, solly, long kidney?

And that possible example just has to be the tip of the iceberg?

We've patently erred, changing an essential service model that just focused on the best possible outcomes for Australian nationals; to a saleable commodity for the so called service industry!?

Better we went back to an economy exclusively reliant on manufactured export goods!? And after being essentially incorruptible, a change for the better all round?

And you just don't have to be einstein to work out how to do just that with hitherto unimagined success!?

Some years ago a Czechoslovakian film hit the foreign film cinemas, called, Insane.

And in essence, tells a story of a Loony Bin where the inmates have taken over and are running the Asylum. And given the outcomes, probably what is occurring here?

Ying tong, yin tong, piddle li po; ying tong, ying tong, piddle li po, piddle li po! "BOOM"! He shotted me again. Yehe, moan!

Q: I didn't know you could speak chinese!

A: Aha, he,he,he, he's standing in the water; Neither did I!

An extract from the goon show? And appropriate given results?
Rhrosty.

It's not just universities, this starts in year 7, the whole education system is now geared toward training people for work in BS, no skill service jobs. Seriously, the only real skills my 12 year old daughter is learning at school boil down to filling in forms and how to navigate red tape, which to be fair are the meat and bones of most jobs these days.
Smart kids are just switching off and dropping out, by year 10 my older daughter had given up, she entered school in the ACE program for high achievers but after term one in year 11 this year she'd become exasperated with the sheer nonsense she was being taught, signed herself out and went to work full time at a fast food restaurant.
Kids know when they're being lied to, the high school curriculum is a load of garbage, university is a waste of money and the smart ones are taking up the crap service jobs in their mid teens because they rightly sense that's all that will be available to them even if they do complete study. If all you see in your future is working at Mcdonalds or Woolies then it's probably a sensible move to get into that system sooner rather than later.

I'm afraid this is not a world inclusive of poor white trash from the south. The education trap is proof!
A sure method of wasting a life, is to send it to school!

Blaming foreign students is racist, a bit like Labors "White Australia Policy". It is the administrators and Uni Profs (Lefties all) who have led the decline.

Mc Cackie,
The Left have been running the education system since at least the late 60's and until about 15 years ago ran a first rate, first world programme. To cater for Asian students the present diploma mill system has to allow plagiarism, ignore cheating and rely on rote learning and a simplified curriculum due to the biological differences between Asians and Europeans.
Asians don't possess natural empathy, creativity or critical thinking skills, these are uniquely European traits which we need to survive as a group, Asians are different, they have different group survival strategies.
The idea that Asians can succeed in a European styled education system is wishful thinking and based on ignorance, people who think that way really need to educate themselves, it's 2015 not 1945 and a belief in racial equality is unacceptable in this day and age.
