This is largely due to restrictive federal government policies. In response, a growing number of universities and community organisations have enabled access to higher education for some people seeking asylum.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncsehe.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/Hartley_PeopleSeekingAsylum.pdf\">first nationwide study<\/a>\u00a0into this found more than 200 people seeking asylum have been able to study at university through scholarships and other supports in recent years. But most of the approximately 30,000 people seeking asylum living in Australia continue to face enormous barriers in accessing higher education.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Who are the people seeking asylum?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Most people seeking asylum in Australia are those who arrived by boat since 13 August 2012. This was when the Australian government introduced a system of third country processing, but not all people seeking asylum were sent to offshore detention on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanrights.gov.au\/our-work\/asylum-seekers-and-refugees\/projects\/transfer-asylum-seekers-third-countries\">Nauru or Manus Island<\/a>. It also includes people who arrived earlier and didn\u2019t have their protection visa application finalised by 18 September 2013, the date\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/operation-sovereign-borders-dignified-silence-or-diminishing-democracy-21294\">Operation Sovereign Borders\u00a0<\/a>commenced.<\/p>\n<p>There are approximately 30,000 people in this situation in Australia. If they\u2019re deemed eligible for protection, they\u2019re issued\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.refugeecouncil.org.au\/getting-help\/legal-info\/visas\/tpv-shev-faqs\/\">one of two temporary visas<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>a three-year\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.refugeecouncil.org.au\/getting-help\/legal-info\/visas\/tpv-shev-faqs\/\">Temporary Protection Visa<\/a>\u00a0(TPV)<\/li>\n<li>a five-year\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.refugeecouncil.org.au\/getting-help\/legal-info\/visas\/tpv-shev-faqs\/\">Safe Haven Enterprise Visa<\/a>\u00a0(SHEV).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While they wait for their protection claim to be finalised, most are issued a temporary\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/immi.homeaffairs.gov.au\/visas\/getting-a-visa\/visa-listing\/bridging-visa-b-020\">bridging visa<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In our research, \u201cpeople seeking asylum\u201d refers to those who are either awaiting the outcome of their refugee application and living in the community on a Bridging Visa, or people found to be a refugee and granted a TPV or SHEV.<\/p>\n<p>More than half of the 30,000 people received a decision on their refugee claim by October 2018. Over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeaffairs.gov.au\/research-and-stats\/files\/ima-oct-2018.pdf\">11,000<\/a>\u00a0people continue to wait. The majority have left countries such as Iran, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and Pakistan to seek protection in Australia.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What are some of the major barriers to higher education?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>From 13 August 2012 for up to three years, people seeking asylum were denied the right to work in Australia and only given minimal government income support. Not able to meet their basic needs, this\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/apo.org.au\/node\/38122\">forced people into destitution<\/a>. While most have been granted the right to work, many are still significantly financially disadvantaged.<\/p>\n<p>The temporary nature of visas for people seeking asylum means their only pathway to higher education is through admission as a full-fee paying international student. The average undergraduate degree costs\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbs.com.au\/yourlanguage\/punjabi\/en\/article\/2017\/11\/01\/how-do-i-pay-my-studies-australia\">over A$30,000 <\/a>\u00a0per year without government subsidies.
