Int'l students nowhere to study as private colleges collapse in Australia

CANBERRA, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- About 2,700 international students were left with no places to study after the collapse of an Australian private education company on Friday.

The students, mainly from Asian countries, went to classes only to find doors closed on Friday morning.

The company that runs the colleges, Global Campus Management/Meridian Group, went into voluntary administration on Thursday.

Hundreds of students who gathered outside the group's Melbourne and Sydney colleges reacted with surprise and shocked to the closures.

Melbourne-based international student, Jass Sandhu, said she had no contact from the school about the closure.

"Immigration should do something for us. If the college has closed it's not our problem."

"We were studying well, we were paying our due. We weren't left with any dues, we were paying our due on right time. What about our future?" she said.

Colleges affected by the closure include Meridian International Schools, the International Design School and International College of Creative Arts which have campuses in both Sydney and Melbourne and ESMOD Australia which is located in Sydney.

The colleges, involving 13 campuses in Melbourne and Sydney, provide tuition in hospitality, design, English language, fashion and secondary education.

Victorian and New South Wales education departments have been left to find places for many students to sit their end of year exams.

yes you are right. its a matter of luck which college you choose. you all know you only want to qualify for PR, so the private colleges see this as a money making venture. teach you? ha ha ha.

so genuine students best stick to TAFE (govt technical college) or universities.

Hey jrbecker99,

You do realise that there is a anti-aussie troll in this forum who uses many nicks to spread his "swiney" flu.
i.e. he is bad for your business. :biggrin:
This troll is probably angry that he is unable to get his Aussie visa.

Not true.

The top Australian University is ranked 14 places ahead of National University of Singapore, which is already quite good.

Its quite simple. You take the 1000s of Australian Institutions and compare them US or European and you have substandard education.

One or two Australian institutions does not mean the overall quality is good. No one will sit around and praise Australian tertiary education the way they do the US or European or even Canada's McGill. That one institution is miles above the best Australia can offer.

Sorry if the truth hurts but maybe you can ask for a refund if you wasted your time and money on anything Australian.
