Australia Education, Population, Migration & Students
Release of ESOS review issues paper and call for submissions. On 23
September the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000 issues paper was released. The ESOS review, led by the Hon Bruce Baird, gives all people interested in the future of Australia’s international education sector the opportunity to contribute their ideas. http://www.aei.gov.au/ESOSreview MELBOURNE'S population has reached 4 million and Australia's is surging towards 22 million, according to new figures that have sparked fresh debate about the impact of record migration. The Bureau of Statistics says Australia's annual net migration soared in the first three months of this year to 278,000 - up from just 100,000 five years ago. http://www.theage.com.au/national/me...0922-g0j7.html Migration waves The world's population growth is slowing, but Australia's has accelerated to record levels. In the past four years, almost without us noticing, immigration into this country has soared to levels never seen before - at a time when employment is falling. This week, the Bureau of Statistics estimated that in the year to March, Australia's population grew by 439,000, or 2.1 per cent - roughly double its average growth in recent times. http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/pol...0925-g68w.html Higher education and skilled migration: panel The Migration and Mobility Research Network (MMRN), a forum of interdisciplinary group of academics from Melbourne universities, policymakers and practitioners interested in migration, is presenting a panel on higher education and skilled migration. http://www.rmit.edu.au/browse;ID=ghpofjruypmq1;STATUS=A Tropical North Queensland company introduces indigenous travel product to WYSTC Aboriginal travel product is being represented for the first time at this year’s World Youth and Student Travel Conference (WYSTC), according to Brandon Walker of Tropical North Queensland’s, The Bama Way. http://thumbrella.com.au/tropical-no...-to-wystc-4932 India, China fuel foreign student market. Students from India and China are fuelling the growth in Australia's international education sector, accounting for more than one-third of the export market. According to a snapshot from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, China and India were the two biggest source countries for students, contributing $5.1 billion to the sector in 2007-08. http://news.theage.com.au/breaking-n...0924-g4jh.html Disappearing icons: another Apostle crumbles. Victoria's Twelve Apostles now number just seven after another of the rock formations tumbled into the sea off Victoria's west coast. A tour operator contacted Parks Victoria early yesterday and reported the small stack had disappeared. http://www.theage.com.au/travel/trav...0926-g6w8.html The Lucky Country? Why is Australia the most successful and most peaceful multiculture in the developed world? How did an Anglo nation responsible for Aboriginal land theft, anti-Chinese riots and the White Australia Policy mutate into the country with arguably the least interracial violence in the developed world? http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2696106.htm |
