According to the new policy of the Australian government, no more than 270,000 students will be given visas in 2025. Australian Education Minister Jason Clare said that individual universities have been informed about their 2025 indicative level, which will be finalized in the next two weeks. China has the highest number of foreign students in Australia at 21 percent. India’s student population is second at 16 percent, Nepal at 8, Vietnam and Philippines at 5 percent. Under this new visa limit, government-aided universities will take about 145,000 new international students next year, which is in line with 2023 levels, with another 95,000 allocated for vocational education and training (VET) courses, which the Australian government says will bring the figures to pre-pandemic levels.
