"The Brumby Government has launched a taskforce to examine ways to enhance international student’s experience studying and living in Victoria. Skills and Workforce Participation Minister Jacinta Allan said the taskforce will look at ways to improve the experience of international students and review what impact the growth in overseas student enrolments has had on the Victorian vocational education and higher education sectors.”Education is now Victoria's largest export and last year we attracted a record 133,000 international students from around the world – up 27,000 compared to 2006. The taskforce will examine key issues such as access to information, coordination of services, safety and accommodation."
