Australia Rebounding As Popular Education Destination For Indians

"Victoria received largest number of students from India followed by New South Wales (NSW)," Jain added.

Many Australian states including NSW and Victoria have been working on strengthening their economic relationship with India by outlining ways to boost trade and investment especially in education sector.

In a bid to tap Indian students market, NSW Labour leader Luke Foley recently demanded opening doors to thousands of Indian students over coming years to Australia.

"India is turning to the world to help them meet their aim of up-skilling half a billion people," he said, adding, "There is an opportunity for TAFE (Technical And Further Education) NSW to be part of it, providing training to hundreds of thousands, potentially millions of Indians."

Foley said TAFE had "put a toe in the water" in this area but should dramatically increase its activities in India and other countries.

"Exporting its training expertise provides TAFE with the ability to earn a return which can then be invested in rebuilding the TAFE system for the people of NSW," he said.

According to Intaj Khan, a private training college owner who also owns a school, number of factors changed the Indian enrolments like easier student visa assessment levels, streamlined visa processing and also relaxed employment restrictions.
