In Australia, there are really many Chinese faces on the road.
In addition to settled immigrants and tourists, Chinese students have become an important part of the Chinese legion.
In conscience, Chinese students have brought enormous economic benefits to Australia. In the past few years, the education industry has also become Australia`s third largest industry.
However, it is because Australia`s education industry is increasingly dependent on overseas student income, the new state audit secretary also issued a warning.
New state audit Margaret Crawford said universities should assess the risk of market concentration, especially since some of them are more vulnerable than others to economic or political changes in their countries of origin. Both the University of New South Wales and the University of Sydney have more than 70% of their income from China.
Andrew Norton, director of higher education at the Gratham Institute, also expressed concern, a warning aimed at all major Australian universities, most of which use overseas student income to subsidize research budgets. If these Chinese students are lost, universities will immediately become in jeopardy.
Norton went on to say he always heard Chinese students call themselves "Australia`s cash cow." But in fact, it is also true.
From a long-term perspective, the quality of education in Chinese universities is gradually rising, and it is very likely that studying in Australia will become less popular. By then, the entire Australian education community will face serious economic problems!
In addition to the recent "embarrassing period" of Sino-Australian relations, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has twice issued a "study abroad warning" in the past eight months, warning Chinese students of attacks in Australia and calling on everyone to stop using Australia as the preferred place to study in Australia.
It has been jokingly said that without Chinese students, many Australian universities would have lost a lot of money.
Now they also know that after some careful consideration the result is only "to prevent us from further fall, from now on, let`s hire less Chinese!"
Time Jun as a study abroad party in the final season to see such news, really feel very cold! In treating the attitude of Chinese students, I hope Australia should do it and cherish it!
