Changes Loom (The Koala International Ed News)

As the AIEC buzz quietly fades away, international educators are now looking ahead to the future... and changes are looming. Yes, there's the pending "caps" legislation, notionally due before Parliament on 18th November... but maybe not as the Government's legislative agenda is still quite full and sitting days are running short.  But changes are looming in other areas too. The New Colombo Plan is currently consulting on its future direction, and on a global scale, the US Presidential Election has the potential to flip so many things upside down (at time of recording, the election result isn't yet known... how did we do on our predictions? You'll find out!) There are also some good news stories out there and international education has proven nothing if not resilient over the past few decades - some of the stories out there reinforce our sector's enormous commitment to our communities.  This episode is brought to you by The Koala News, Australia's international education news site, and The Global Society, Australia's learning abroad support company.
