MODERATORS
This article seems extremely biased.
Although making the premise of the article about helping students, this change in rules allows universities to essentially hold students captive as their visa is entirely held at the mercy of the university.
While studying in Australia, many students work, have their families with them and try to live normal lives. They can have jobs that they depend on and kids that depend on them. By tying their visa directly to a specific university, it gives the university the power to charge what they feel like and hold over their visa as collateral.
I had a quick look to see the background of 'the pie', and it is clearly an industry-funded propaganda machine who does nothing but churn out pro-industry articles.
A "for profit" University system is just sad
It is, especially considering past generations had fully government paid for University educations. We're being left behind by our elders for profit.
Wait until they find out about how much profit there is in elderly homes for us
Wait?
The "village" my grandparents moved into had to be bought into, which is fine.
They had to sell their house to do so, again fine.
When they died, we couldn't sell it, the village "bought it back" from us, for about 1/4 of what was paid for it AND we had to have it repainted and new carpets etc at our expense.
I understand the new tenants bought it at market rate, which is a HUGE profit for the company running the village.
And it's not like that expense paid for the various shared facilities or groundskeeping or anything like that, no that was all fees on top.
Long rant, didn't read: The government needs to step in and take control of this, private companies can't be trusted.
Definition of a scam
and water is wet.
The fact that a website like this even exists hints at a big fat racket going on.
I had that initial suspicion but I think they can still change however they can't change to a course that doesn't meat the condition of the visa. The intention is to allow easy immigration for those studying courses like Engineering but not a Tafe course
At the end of the day it's just money for the universities but at least if we are having that system we might as well bring in people funding the education sector and not just those wanting a cheap work visa.
