Australian Government Student Visa Reforms International Education
Government extends support for international education.As you may be aware, the Government announced on 22 September 2011 its response to the Knight Review. One of the recommendations agreed to by Government was the introduction of new post-study work arrangements for Australian university graduates who have obtained a Bachelor degree, Masters by coursework degree, Masters by research degree or PhD.Yesterday the Government announced plans to extend eligibility of the post-study work visa. In addition to university graduates, the new post-study work arrangements are to be extended to Bachelor, Masters by coursework, Masters by research and PhD degree graduates from other education providers accredited to offer degree level programs in Australia.
I think its a wise decision for the Australian governement in the wake of the global economic recovery. This is an example worth considering by the UK goverment in a more strategic way.
