jorge,

I have an interest in tourism, where the damage from the international publicity from alleged racism, violence and scams involving overseas students in Australia have impacted on forward bookings and will have a negative flow on effect for years.

There is the added problem that some countries have played some underhand diplomatic games over their students studying in foreign countries. Australia should avoid creating more opportunity for them to do that.

Thanks for this topic,

In fact, the issue of giving international students the chance to be resident is quite critical. I am not Australian, but I came from a country which is very attractive to many people, so I understand how you feel. If Australia facilitates the residency it would be hit by millions and if it makes it complicated, the result is seen right now.

Australia has to invset more in it resources not to open the door waiting for International students support. It virtually fells behind the world especially the world where international students come from.

Regards

Degrees mean nothing anymore in this country.If you can afford the hex bill $50,000 will buy you one on science with a UAI of just 65.

When education just becomes another saleable commodity,it prostitutes integrity and standards for the quick fix called money.
