In the latest Op-ed in The Australian, our CEO, Dr Peter Hendy, delves into the critical importance of Australia's international education sector. He highlights how the sector not only fuels our economy but also fosters cultural exchange and strengthens diplomatic ties. Here's a glimpse into his key points: 🔹 Economic Impact: Valued at $47.8 billion in 2023, international education stands as Australia's fourth largest export, supporting around 250,000 jobs across various sectors. 🔹 Cultural Exchange: Hosting a diverse cohort of international students enriches Australia's social fabric and bolsters our global reputation as an inclusive and welcoming nation. 🔹 Diplomatic Relations: The sector plays a crucial role in soft diplomacy, enhancing Australia's image and fostering stronger ties with students' home countries. 🔹 Policy Concerns: Current government policies that limit international student numbers threaten to undermine these benefits. A more supportive approach is needed to safeguard this invaluable asset. IHEA is committed to advocating for policies that support and grow this vital sector, ensuring Australia remains a top destination for international students. As we navigate the challenges and opportunities ahead, the insights shared by Peter Hendy underscore the need for a robust and supportive framework for international education. Read the full Op-ed below and join the conversation to share your thoughts on how we can further enhance the role of international education in Australia’s future. #IHEA #HigherEducation #InternationalStudents #Australia

UK-Global: Quality agency wins grant to tackle UK TNE growth barriers The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education has been awarded a roughly 20% share of a new British government fund designed to ‘unlock export opportunities’ worth billions of pounds for UK companies and organisations over the next five years, with major benefits for transnational education (#TNE). Nic Mitchell reports. The QAA will receive £470,000 (US$607,000) from the UK’s government's £2.3 million Regulatory Partnership for Growth Fund “to deliver a set of international interventions designed to address barriers to UK higher education” in key international markets. The announcement was made at the start of a visit by the new #Labour government’s Secretary of State for Business and Trade Jonathan Reynolds MP to Brazil during which he will attend his first #G20 trade talks summit. Sectors like #cleanenergy and #lifesciences are set to benefit, along with TNE.

On a different scale of engagement with international education in the UK, today I’m attending the UKCISA symposium on e-visas—an important shift in the UK immigration system. Looking forward to gaining insights from colleagues on the latest updates and real-life scenarios. The move to e-visas, replacing physical BRPs with a fully digital status, is a major transition that also relates to international students experience in the UK. While it offers efficiency and security, it also raises important questions: How accessible is the system? What challenges are emerging in implementation? How are institutions adapting? looking forward to explore these discussions and hear different perspectives. #internationalstudents #uk #mobility #internationaleducation #ukvi
