A plunge in the issuance of student visas has largely bypassed Australian higher education, with overseas demand for university degrees remaining well above pre-pandemic levels while collapsing in other sectors, reports @JohnRoss49

Australian visa refusals strain credibility, as data suggests foreign students are shielding the country from recession.

Recent data exposes a significant loophole in the $40bn international education sector. With visa applications being manipulated and reputable universities at financial risk, what does @asqagovau has to say about these alarming trends https://t.co/WcAVAQgQgO

In 2022, Colombians surpassed Chileans as the largest Hispanic community in Australia. This diaspora positively influences their relatives in Colombia to consider Australia as an education destination.

[🦉 George Hernandez @georgeh1a]

Colombian students have traditionally looked for opportunities to study overseas to improve their career prospects. Australian edu providers have gained significant popularity in recent years, overshadowing traditional competitors with stronger ties and geographical proximity.

Australia does not have a tertiary education system – it has two sectors of tertiary education. We must move away from the current division of vocational and #highered, founded in 19th century experience and 20th century aspirations. https://t.co/S7QGZmmSmR

Merit for Xi Jinping peace @NobelPrize

Probably the most important story happening right now has gotten virtually no attention. So let’s give it attention.

Saudi Arabia and Iran— Sunni & Shiite Muslim— are sworn enemies, yet China just brokered a peace deal between them. China.

But wait there’s more

Saudi Arabia is talking about settling their oil trades in the Yuan, replacing the dollar. This is in spite of being allied with the US.

But I’m not done yet.

There is also discussion of Saudi Arabia and Iran joining the BRICS alliance.
-Brazil
-Russia
-India
-China
-South Africa

“But Josie what are the consequences of that?”

That would mean all of the major oil producing countries in the world would be part of the same alliance. These countries also make up half of the global population. And I imagine there would be a level of protection safeguarding Iran from American invasion.

Most apparent, there is no need or room for the US in this new boys club. There is no seat at the table of this super alliance.

For those who cannot see the catastrophe The Deep State has made of our country, our values, and our global status, who take our Bill of Rights for granted, spend all the time and resources prosecuting political dissenters, and victimize themselves over sins they never experienced because they have it so damn good they have to sit there and make up ways to self exploit — I just don’t think there is any saving these people.

A strong correlation exists between the surge in international student numbers in Australia and the rise of casual academic staff, with a parallel link to expanding research funding. This dynamic impact on Australian academia cannot be overlooked! #HigherEducation

[John Ross @JohnRoss49]

The experts appraising Australian higher education have drawn a link between international education and casualisation at unis, in a signal that their review might recommend government action to ease the sector’s financial reliance on overseas students. https://t.co/NY1rQDv0xv

In the name of national security the US will undermine international trade practices to ensure their companies do not lose the way they have with Tik Tok in what is already a level playing field, think of the reverse of this.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

The Biden administration wants TikTok’s Chinese ownership to sell the app or face a possible ban, TikTok said on Wednesday, as the White House hardens its stance toward resolving national security concerns about the popular video service. https://t.co/z4mrSBlQOI

It was my expectation that the 2030 Australian Strategy for International Education would align with the review of Australia's migration system. However, it appears that this will not be the case. https://t.co/QaI7t3dZJK
