Universities Australia Chair David Lloyd said countries including the UK and the US would be big winners from the center-left Labor government’s plan to limit foreign student places to 270,000 next year — 175,000 for the higher education sector and 95,000 for skills colleges.
Lloyd pointed to Canada as a cautionary tale for Australia after it imposed similar restrictions only to see new international student enrollments fall by more than expected.
“Australia could suffer the same fate as Canada if prospective students don’t feel welcome and decide their future isn’t worth gambling with,” Lloyd said in a speech to the National Press Club in Canberra on Wednesday. “What is a sure bet is that our other international competitor nations –- the UK, the US and others — are standing by ready to capitalize on our poor policy decisions.”

The speech came as the leader of Australia’s second-largest state plans to visit India in part to promote stronger ties in education. Victorian Premier Jacinta Allen said in an interview with the Australian Financial Review that her state would “always be a welcoming place for international students.”
