The reputation of Australia's overseas education sector has suffered another blow with the abrupt closure of a private college in Sydney.
Sterling College has gone into voluntary administration leaving about five hundred foreign students uncertain about their future. Another private education provider, Melbourne International College, went bust earlier this month. Students are now calling on the Australian Government to fix what they say is a dishonest system.
