Australia launches campaign for Indian students

Updated on: Friday, March 20, 2009

With global recession biting hard, Australia has launched a multi-million-dollar campaign to ensure that Indian students continue to come here for higher studies, as they have been doing in large numbers in recent years. An estimated 95,000 Indian students joined Australian institutions of higher education in the first 11 months of 2008. Indians form the second highest population of overseas students in Australia, after the Chinese.

The Australian government will also target China, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia in its Aus$3.5 million (US$2.3 million) drive to ensure that it continues to get students from these countries. India and these four countries provide the bulk of the international students studying in Australian universities and colleges.
