With rising incomes and the growth of the Chinese middle class more students from China are seeking education elsewhere in an effort to escape the extraordinary difficult Gaokao (Chinese school-leaving exam), and Australia is becoming a more common choice. The institution discussed in the article charges AUD $20,000 per year in tuition and between AUD$15-20,000 per year in accommodation.
There is also a trend by international education companies in China buying schools overseas to help cater for the demand from Chinese parents. International schools in Australia typically have a cap on the numbers of international students that they will accept.
This seems like a good thing for Australian education institutions as the overseas student s fees from the Chinese students are very helpful to the schools in providing these services to Australian children as well.
