Study in Australia News: Indian students troubled by Australia, but these three countries will make the work easier

Study Abroad Places for Indians: Australia wants to limit the number of foreign students coming to study here every year. For this, a law is being brought, named ‘Education Services for Overseas Students Amendment (Quality and Integrity) Bill 2024’. At present this bill is being discussed a lot. Study Abroad Consultants believe that this will have a very bad impact on Indian students, while some say that it will not make much difference.
Through this law, the number of foreign students will be limited to 2,70,000 in 2025. Announcing this bill, Education Minister Jason Clair said that it is important to maintain quality and honesty in the international education sector.
