America’s recent decision to tear up Chinese student visas could benefit Australia’s economy.
However, a peak education body is warning sky rocketing visa fees, and muddled messaging may already be sending talent elsewhere.
This comes after the decision from US President Donald Trump to revoke Chinese student visas, leaving thousands in limbo.
International education is currently Australia’s third largest export, contributing $50 billion to the economy annually.
Last year, nearly 160,000 students from China enrolled in Australian universities, equating to 30 per cent of all foreign student enrollment.
