Do international students affect the quality of education that universities offer? Are entrance standards being lowered and/or educational programs changed to attract more international students?
• No. The number of international students does not affect or influence the quality of education offered by universities or any other provider of international education in Australia. The Australian Government is unaware of any entrance standards being lowered in order to attract and facilitate entry for international students. • The Australian Quality Framework (AQF) links school, vocational and university qualifications into one system to ensure consistent accreditation of education qualifications, regardless of the sector, state or individual education provider. The AQF applies equally to both domestic and international students. • In addition, the Australian Government regulates the education and training sector’s involvement with overseas students studying in Australia on student visas through the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) legislative framework. This protects Australia’s reputation for delivering quality education services as well as the interests of overseas
