1. Which country is capping international education student numbers to 270,000 in 2025?
Australia has announced a new policy to limit the number of international students to 270,000 in 2025, affecting various educational sectors. The cap is divided among public universities, private institutions, and vocational education, with specific exclusions for certain student categories. This decision follows earlier measures such as visa fee increases and higher savings requirements, which have already led to a decline in study visa approvals. Critics argue that this move could harm Australia's reputation in the global higher education market.
