The Minister for Tertiary Education, Senator Chris Evans, today welcomed the release of a consultation paper to inform the next phase of the Government’s response to the Baird Review of the legislation that governs international education in Australia.

澳大利亞高等教育部長克里斯•埃文斯（Chris Evans）參議員今天對政府為回應澳大利亞國際教育行業立法的“貝爾德復審”（Baird Review）而頒布的咨詢文件表示歡迎。這是政府 為回應“貝爾德復審”而采取的下一階段的措施。

In March 2010, the Hon Bruce Baird released his report into the Education Services for Overseas Students (ESOS) Act 2000, containing a number of recommendations to strengthen the legislation to better protect international students and ensure Australia continues to offer a world class quality education.

2010年3月，布魯斯•貝爾德（Bruce Baird）發表了關于《2000年海外學生教育服務法案(ESOS)》的復審報告，就加強立法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。

Senator Evans invited submissions from stakeholders, including education peak bodies, regulators, providers, students and agents, who will have until 21 January 2011 to provide feedback to the Government.

埃文斯參議員邀請各利益相關方，包括教育行業組織、監管機構、教育院校、學生和留學中介于2011年1月21日之前向政府提交反饋意見。

“The Government is firmly committed to supporting the quality and integrity of Australia’s international education sector, having already introduced reforms to raise the bar for entry into the sector and give regulators greater flexibility to manage risk and enforce compliance with the legislation,” Senator Evans said.

“政府堅決致力于提升澳大利亞國際教育行業的質量，使其更趨健全完善，而且已經著手進行改革，提高國際教育行業準入標準，授予監管機構更大的靈活度來管理風險并加強合規管理工作。”埃文斯參議員說。

The release of the consultation paper follows the first phase of the Government’s response to the Baird Review through the legislative reforms introduced into Parliament on 27 October 2010.

此次咨詢文件的公布是政府回應“貝爾德復審”，在2010年10月27日向議會提出立法改革的 第一階段工作的后續工作。

The changes already being implemented include: further strengthening provider registration requirements; measures to better manage risk in international education; introducing financial penalties for a wider scope of non-compliant behaviour; and enhancing the complaints and appeals processes by expanding the role of the Commonwealth Ombudsman.

已經實施的變化包括：進一步提高教育院校的注冊審批要求；推出對國際教育更佳的風險管理措施；針對更大范圍的違規行為采取罰款措施；通過擴大聯邦政府調解員的職責，加強投訴與申訴案件的處理工作。

“The Phase Two consultation paper explores options for taking forward the remaining Baird Review recommendations,” Senator Evans said.

“第二階段的咨詢文件探究了為實施“貝爾德審查”所提出的余下建議而要采取的做法。”埃文斯參議員說。

The sector has been asked to provide feedback on:

政府要求教育行業對下列問題提出反饋意見：

• risk assessment and management approach to the registration and ongoing monitoring of education providers delivering to overseas students;

對招收海外學生教育院校的注冊登記和現行的監督措施的風險評估和管理方法；

• strengthening the tuition protection framework;

強化學費保護框架；

• a range of recommendations for making ESOS stronger, simpler and smarter; and

使《海外學生教育服務法案(ESOS)》更強大、更簡化和更高效的廣泛建議；

• the regulatory effect on providers of these proposals and recommendations.

以及這些建議和提議對于教育院校的監管效果。

The consultation paper and access to an online form to make submissions are available on the Australian Education International website at www.aei.gov.au.

該咨詢文件和在線提交建議的表格鏈接公布在澳大利亞教育、就業和勞資關系部國際教育司（AEI）的網站上www.aei.gov.au.
