The regulator has released its look into international education. Some of the findings in the 159-page document -
7 major risk areas
1. Student growth - rapid growth in numbers at some providers
2, English language capabilities - ignoring entry levels
3. Student non-attendance - a big area - There is anecdotal evidence that education agents may be recruiting students based on promises to the
overseas students that work in excess of 40 hours per fortnight is permitted. ASQA has found several providers that do not require their students to attend scheduled classes.
4. Education agents - ensuring the accuracy of marketing and enrolment information are evident.
5. Student onshore enrolments - study requirements and attendance, or offering other incentives which may mislead students into seeking enrolment with an alternate provider
6. Multiple providers - of a person/legal entity owning more than one training organisation (e.g. AIBT case)
7. PRISMS Data - providers must enter accurate data
