Not just the increased competition for uni places Tasboy disadvantages Australian youth.
All of these international studends are allowed to work 20 hrs a week increasing competition for employment.
All need to be housed putting increasing pressure on rental accomodation.
All need to get from A to B increasing congestion in cities.
Infrastructure paid by the residents of the cities to accomodate but no return to them only the universities.
Our universities are watering down standards to increase flow through of international students, the diminishing of public assets.
We also have the situations developing like the confucius centres where decisions on course content are being made outside of autonomy of uni.
The government is encouraging above as they want to decrease the cost of education on their balance sheets also salaries being paid to administer Australian Uni's are worlds highest.
A lot wrong with Australia at the moment but the way the university system has changed in last 10 years is right at top of list.
No one seems to care though least of all the younger generation.
The only to groups benefiting are the University sector with more power and skyrocketing salaries and the government who are virtually privatising higher education to accomodate freeing up cash to buy votes into the future.
