Tougher rules called for int'l education providers in Australia
2009-Dec-7 11:16:25

An interim report into laws governing international education in Australia has urged tougher rules for organizations wanting to register as providers.

Australian Education Minister Julia Gillard welcomed the release of the report on Thursday, saying it would help inform the final report which former Liberal Member of Parliament Bruce Baird will present to the government in early 2010.

The Baird Review highlighted more effective consumer protection and stronger, simpler regulation as two essential reforms needed to strengthen international education.

Recommendations in the report included the need for a tougher gateway for organizations to register as international education providers, improved arrangements for student tuition protection and better complaints handling and support mechanisms.

Baird held forums with almost 200 students and providers from the tertiary, English language course providers and school sectors.

He also met with provider and student peak bodies, key embassies, regulators and state and territory government officials.

The review received about 150 written submissions and more than 300 people participated in an online forum.
