The Australian Government plans to limit the number of new international students to 270,000 in 2025, aiming to manage immigration and sustain the multi-billion-dollar education sector. This cap will impact universities and vocational training centers, aligning student numbers with pre-pandemic levels.
The government’s strategy includes a digital approach to prioritize low-risk visa applicants, enhancing compliance and security. The new policy underscores the government’s role in balancing educational growth with immigration control, ensuring the sector’s sustainability.
