Australia to limit foreign student enrolments in migration crackdown

Australia has announced plans to limit international student enrolments to 270,000 for 2025, aiming to curb record migration that has contributed to rising rental prices. The government is implementing reforms to make the international student sector more sustainable. This decision follows recent measures to end COVID-era concessions for foreign students and workers. While international education is a major export industry for Australia, the surge in migration has raised concerns about housing pressure and become a potential election issue. Reuters
