News flash! International Ed Myths BUSTED (plus the key news)

In recent months we've heard the Australian Government pinning a chunk of blame for the current housing crisis on international students. In this episode of Global Horizons, Rob Malicki (The Global Society) and Dirk Mulder (The Koala News) talk about research that just dropped that torpedoes that narrow view. And it seems this really is a "mythbusting" episode, as we get into details of an excellent piece of analysis by the legenedary Alan Olsen looking at the difference between domestic and international students and their rates of passing subjects. For as long as international students have been coming to Australia, there has been a narrative in the mainstream press (and in sections of some campuses) that international students lower educational standards. But what if international students actually passed more subjects than domestic students? Wouldn't that tell a different story? We'll dive into Alan's analysis and what it reveals. Finally, Rob and Dirk are joined by Jason Howard, the founder of StudyLink (now part of the Flywire group). This is a great conversation looking at how the sector has changed over the decades that Jason has been involved, and how technology and systems have shifted.
