International Education News - November 3rd 2023

Today I’m joined by Dirk Mulder, the editor of ⁠The Koala News⁠, Australia’s dedicated international education news website for an analysis of the top stories touching our industry right now.

In this episode we talk about the interim report of Australian Government's latest review covering tourism and international education. This one is full of very interesting, and important, recommendations!

Also joining us in this episode is Dr Chris Ziguras. Chris is a Professor of Higher Education at the University of Melbourne's Centre for Higher Education, and is the co-author of recent articles and papers discussing the potential impacts of the proposed International Student Fee Levy.
