Australia's International Education Sector Faces 300,000 Student Drop
Australia's international education sector faces a significant challenge, with a drop of 300,000 international students since late 2024. This decline, along with a 30% decrease in offshore student visa applications, has raised concerns about the industry's future. IDP, a leading international education company, is committed to supporting these students and ensuring their voices are heard by policy makers.
IDP's Arrive & Thrive program and other community-led efforts help international students build friendships and gain essential skills and support. The company believes in the importance of listening to these students and responding with clarity, compassion, and urgency.
The author, who arrived in Australia as an international student in 2001, understands the challenges and contributions these students bring. They navigated the education system and juggled part-time jobs, echoing the experiences of many international students today. International students contribute more than just tuition fees, enriching Australia with cultural diversity and future-focused skills.
The decline in international students has broader impacts, as seen in Canada where institutions and communities felt the absence of these students. It's crucial to ensure international students feel welcomed and connected when they arrive in Australia. IDP continues to champion international students and share their voices with policy makers to inform decision-making, working towards a future where Australia's international education sector thrives.
