The recent attacks on Indians in Australia have created a huge roar amongst people from all over the globe. Australia has obviously suffered the consequences of these attacks, and as a result a dip has been seen in the number of overseas student enrollments for Australian educational institutions.
Australia is no doubt, attired with world class educational institutions and faculty members, but the recent incidents have certainly destroyed the reputation of the country, especially in the minds of overseas applicants.
The result is clearly shown in the number of foreign student applicants intending to enroll in Australian universities. The number has certainly declined and as a result there are calls to come up with a new body that would represent the private institutions and address various issues linked with them.
Mr. Andrew Smith, on behalf of the Australian Council for Private Education and Training confirmed that descend of almost 50 percent has been witnessed in applications from countries including India and other South Asian nations. He also mentioned that a fall has been witnessed from the Chinese markets too
The recent spate of attacks has summoned many ministers and officials to speak out a lot of the issue of racial attacks. It has become one of the major issues of concern in the recent times.
