；

更有力的消費權益保障機制，杜絕不良院校和留學中介針對國際學生的不正當行為；

對整個澳大利亞國際教育行業實施更為嚴格的監管；

為在澳大利亞留學、居住的學生提供更全面的支持服務，例如設立相關機構方便其反映問題和尋求幫助。

貝爾德先生在報告中列舉了澳大利亞國際教育行業存在的問題，并就加強立法以更好地保障國際學生權益、確保澳大利亞繼續提供世界一流的教育提出了多項建議。

上述建議是在向國際學生、教育院校、州/地區政府、監管機構、學生社團、國際教育專家、教育工會、行業組織和外交機構廣泛征求意見后，綜合產生的結果。

吉拉德部長表示，澳大利亞政府原則上贊同通過修訂《2000年海外學生教育服務法案》，提高招收國際學生院校的審批標準的建議。

澳大利亞政府將盡快落實這些建議，以遏制少數院校和留學中介在招生過程中的不正當行為。

為實現上述建議措施，《2000年海外學生教育服務法案》亦需進行相應的修訂。貝爾德先生向反對黨和其他政黨闡述復審報告的相關建議，以盡快使澳大利亞議會進入商議探討程序。

報告中的其他建議措施，還需向澳大利亞各州/地區、國際教育行業和聯邦政府其他部長們廣泛征求意見。此項協商工作也將立即啟動。

Baird review into International Students final report

The Minister for Education, Julia Gillard, today welcomed the release of the Baird review final report into the legislation that governs international education in Australia.

Ms Gillard thanked Mr Baird for his hard work and commitment and for producing the report as a matter of urgency and agreed to begin work on implementing a number of recommendations immediately.

Following his review of the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000, former Member for Cook Bruce Baird has recommended immediate changes to improve the experience of international students choosing to study and live in Australia.

Mr Baird’s report, Stronger, simpler, smarter ESOS: supporting international students, makes recommendations including:

• more support for international students and improved information • stronger consumer protection mechanisms to ensure students are protected from unscrupulous operators • improved regulation of Australia’s international education sector • improved support for those who study and live in Australia including having somewhere to go when problems arise.

Mr Baird has detailed the issues facing the sector and makes a number of recommendations for strengthening legislation to better protect international students and ensure Australia continues to offer a world class quality education.

The recommendations follow extensive consultation with international students, education providers, state and territory governments, regulatory bodies, student organisations, international education professionals, education unions, industry bodies and diplomatic missions.

Ms Gillard said the Government supports in principle recommendations to amend the ESOS Act to lift the bar on entry into the international education industry in Australia.

The Government will also move to implement recommendations which relate to restricting unethical student recruitment practices as soon as possible.

These changes will require amendments to the ESOS Act. Mr Baird will brief the Opposition and other parties on the review’s recommendations this week with a view to having them available for consideration by the Parliament as soon as possible.

Other recommendations will require consultation with States and Territories, the International Education sector and other Australian Government Ministers and consultation will begin immediately.

The final report of the Baird review including a summary of the recommendations is available at www.aei.gov.au.
