Australia's "education destination" standing threatened
Updated
Education is Australia's third largest export, worth around $AUD15 billion each year, but for overseas students it is also a way of gaining residency in Australia.
Australia's immigration programme is largely based on a points system and some occupations score more points, making it easier to settle in Australia.
However the economic downturn, combined with recent attacks on foreign students and collapse of some private colleges, means Australia's standing as an education destination is under threat.
