Australia has announced the introduction of a new regulation for schools and international students.
This change necessitates understanding, fair treatment, and support for all involved. Students and schools must adapt to these changes to prepare for the new requirements and address any issues arising from the new rules.
Some academic institutions have even retracted admission
offers, further complicating the situation for overseas students. This shift in
the country's approach to immigration and education is a significant change in
the country's immigration and education landscape.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported the biggest decline in
student visa awards in more than 20 years—a 20% decline. This forms part of a
plan to cut back on immigration, which is anticipated to drop from 375,000 to
250,000 in the upcoming fiscal year. The education industry is the target of
the stricter visa regulations, which have an unequal global impact. Students
from Pakistan, India, and Nepal—three of Australia's top source markets for
overseas education—are most affected. These countries have to deal with new
visa requirements and higher access obstacles.
High rejection rates and ambiguity surrounding visa
approvals have caused significant challenges for educational institutions,
particularly those at higher risk. Longer processing times for visas have led
to colleges withdrawing offers and relocating recruitment efforts to less risky
countries. International students need to meet new requirements, such as
financial stability, improved English proficiency, and passing the
"Genuine Student Test," resulting in longer visa processing delays,
increased application rejections, and even some schools withdrawing offers.
