ESOS regulates Australia’s world class education and training sector’s involvement with overseas students studying in Australia on student visas. It has helped to put Australia at the forefront of international education provision and provides a solid foundation for the sector.
The review, led by the former Federal Member for Cook, the Hon Bruce Baird, is an opportunity to further enhance the education quality and protection of international students.
The review considers the need for enhancements to the ESOS legal framework in four key areas set out in the Terms of Reference: Supporting the interests of students; delivering quality as the cornerstone of Australian education; effective regulation; and sustainability of the international education sector.
The review is expected to be completed in early 2010.
The Deputy Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s decision to bring forward the ESOS review is one of a number of measures Australian governments have implemented to continue to improve the quality of education for international students and their well-being while living, studying and working in Australia.
