One of the things we do at EWSI is comparative analyses between member states on how issues related to migration are approached. The latest one is about assessing and building on qualifications that people from third countries carry with them. Results are quite depressing – we tend to disregard many educations and experiences, so that ressources are lost when skilled migrants end up working in unskilled jobs. But we have also found good practices for inspiration – from Denmark, the IGU course and free language training for all are positive examples. Read the full analysis here: https://lnkd.in/eZhfaFpS.

“Up until the very recently, we were the number one employer of expatriate staff in the world; far ahead of second place.” So we heard from a representative of the company recently. But the question is, which company? Let us give you some further clues… The number of expat staff has been so huge (10,000+) that they have built schools to accommodate the families in: -     Nigeria -     Oman -     Brunei Some of them, such as the one pictured below, Panaga School in Brunei, were founded as long ago as 1948, when they were almost wholly filled with Dutch and British children. We’re sure you’ve got it by now Yes, the answer is Shell. And they used to have schools in Malaysia, Russia, Syria and Gabon too. If you want to learn more, this article is a bit dated but it’s also really really interesting (page 26; “Caring for families means creating schools”): https://lnkd.in/eiAydg-z Panaga School: https://lnkd.in/edjShsPD #expatriates #internationalschools

Anyone working in Foreign Affairs Department can see this discuss with Minister and HoD.

Certificate from the Indonesian embassy

I’m thrilled to share that I've begun my master's studies in International Relations at Universitas Indonesia.

I look forward to deepening my understanding of international migration issues and contributing to meaningful discussions and solutions in this critical field. This new chapter marks a significant step in my commitment to understanding and addressing the challenges and opportunities that international migration presents in our interconnected world. #AcademicJourney #MasterProgram #InternationalRelations

I went to the Indonesian Embassy today. Ooh, I remember my country Indonesia for a little while. I hope it will be better in the near future in terms of economic, political, law, social justice, education system, etc. I miss living in Indonesia, tanah airku, tumpah darahku. Therefore, Indonesia's government now has two Presidents. We should realize what’s happening, what’s going on in this country, and what’s wrong with it. Then we can fix it for a better life and better future. In my opinion, this country is big, a super big land with a big population inside, and so the solution is we should THINK BIG also. The first work is, that the government should remove all the bad things into good things, for example, corruption and bureaucracy. However regarding power or duty we should think small. By dividing power/authority it would be easier to accomplish it. We can work on those, InshaAllah. For example, promoting the tourist sector, building up the trust of the institutions & provincial government. Also, the importance of division of duty in the province & city so the authority is spread out, it is not only in one place, but certainly it is controlled by the central capital. Extend the education system such as updating the facilities and providing internet access in all corners of Indonesia. Moreover, we need to think, act, contribute anything and everything even small things that we can do as a citizen of this country. In fact, Indonesia is a developing country in Southeast Asia. Back then, we were a big country that had a big dream and was appreciated and respected by surrounding countries also in the WORLD. Even though it’s not a developed country yet , at least please don’t be an underdeveloped country. We have so many resources (human & natural), land, maritime, agriculture, and people with skills and knowledge. Remember, we have respectful scholars, and for this, please give them an opportunity give place for them to teach, to live in, develop, and grow because they also have a good & important role in this country. And you know this country, Indonesia even started with scholars first. If you don't know about this, you have to read and learn again from the history. Today, so many things have changed in Indonesia. There are many good things. I admit it, including building development and transportation, that some cities are more modern than ever before, especially in the capital city, but we should realize that we are FAR AWAY from the ideal as a country. We should remembering and remeniscing how this country was united and sovereign in the past with all the sacrifices, under the Almighty God. Bhinneka, Pancasila and Constitution are should be the top of priorities for our country, Indonesia. -Jayalah Indonesiaku, kunantikan Kemakmuranmu.- FYI: As an Indonesian, you can leave your thoughts. Thank you!

🔍 Suggested Reforms by Grattan Institute to Australia’s Migrant Points Test Australia is known for its skilled migration program, but recent discussions highlighted the need for reforms so that migrants could be ensured success on a long-term basis. The Grattan Institute has come forward with a proposed revised points test, which emphasizes those factors that may point to the potential of a migrant for success on a long-term basis in Australia. Here are the fundamental changes: 📊 Key Categories and Points: 1. Age: • 18-20: 95 points • 21-29: 100 points • 30: 95 points • Starting at 31 years of age, you will lose points 2. English Language Proficiency: • IELTS 8+: 90 points • IELTS 7: 45 points 3. Education: • PhD: 60 points • Degree from a top 20 university: 45 points • Bachelor’s degree or above: 30 points • Certificate III level or higher: 15 points 4. Occupation: • Skill Level 1, 2, or 3 skills assessments required 5. Skilled Work Experience (2 years minimum, outside or in Australia): • Skill Level 1: 50 points • Skill Level 2: 15 points 6. Australian High-Paying Job (1 year minimum or job offer): • $120,000/year: 90 points • $105,000/year: 70 points • $90,000/year: 50 points • $80,000/year: 40 points • $70,000/year: 30 points 7.

Partner Skills: • English (IELTS 8+): 60 points • English (IELTS 7): 40 points • Education: Bachelor level or higher (30 points), Certificate III and above (15 points) • single: 90 points This new points test will encourage migrants who are likely to perform well and contribute considerably to the Australian economy and society.
