Education minister says enrolments to be limited to 270,000 in 2025 in bid to create ‘a better and a fairer system’.
Australia has announced a cap on the number of international students amid growing public discontent over rising housing costs.
Education Minister Jason Clare said on Tuesday that enrolments at publicly funded universities and vocational institutions would be limited to 270,000 in 2025 as part of efforts to create “a better and a fairer system”.
“What this means is next year there will be about the same number of international students starting a course here as there were before the pandemic,” Clare said at a news conference.
“There’ll be more in our universities and there’ll be fewer in our private vocational providers.”
