Australian universities have come to rely heavily on revenue from onshore international students.\u00a0Numbers more than doubled<\/a>\u00a0in the decade to 2018. But the proposition that Australia\u2019s public universities should step back 50 years, retreat from international education and focus wholly or largely on domestic students is naively nostalgic.<\/p>\n

Such a move would be a backward step economically, culturally and diplomatically, as a new\u00a0Asia Taskforce discussion paper<\/a>\u00a0concludes. It would diminish Australia and its global standing.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a037 of our universities<\/a>\u00a0are publicly owned and thus have a social obligation to serve domestic students. It is right that we have a robust debate about the international student presence on our campuses.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the debate has generated more heat than light. It\u2019s at risk of being hijacked for ideological purposes, rather than generating credible and practical solutions on which the sector and government can act.<\/p>\n

Getting to the root of the problem<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Criticisms of the sector aren\u2019t without merit. As some academics\u00a0have suggested<\/a>, and as COVID-19 has writ large, universities\u2019 high exposure to the international education market is high risk.<\/p>\n

Changes in sources of university revenue from 2004 to 2018 (in 2018 dollars) Universities Australia<\/p><\/div>\n

The\u00a0proportion of international students per institution<\/a>\u00a0in 2018 averaged 22%, ranging from a low of 4% (New England) to a high of 48% (Bond). At some business and engineering faculties, the proportion exceeded 50%.<\/p>\n

Enrolments at some of our largest universities also have an unacceptable skew towards single countries \u2013 either China or India. Some universities, particularly Group of Eight institutions, have fallen into the habit of setting international fees according to what China \u2013 the world\u2019s largest student market \u2013 will bear. This has eroded competitiveness in more cost-sensitive countries like those in South East Asia and Latin America.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the sector can and must lift its game on all-round educational quality. The issues include academic and English-proficiency admission standards, the quality of the learning experience, and graduate employability and job outcomes.<\/p>\n

Whatever the critics might assert, though, the root cause of this reliance is not institutional greed. The\u00a0underlying driver<\/a>\u00a0has been bipartisan attachment to weaning the sector off the public purse and requiring it to stand on its own two feet financially.<\/p>\n

In the two decades to 2015, OECD data suggest Australia slipped from sixth place to\u00a024th among OECD countries<\/a>\u00a0in terms of public investment in higher education as a share of GDP. While\u00a0some<\/a>\u00a0dispute these metrics, the flatlining of real direct funding by government has created a university sector that is neither fish nor fowl: publicly owned yet increasingly reliant on commercial income sources.<\/p>\n

Fee revenue isn\u2019t the only benefit<\/strong><\/h4>\n

A striking feature of criticisms of the international student presence is a refusal to acknowledge its benefits. Education was the nation\u2019s\u00a0third-largest export earner<\/a>\u00a0last year. Higher education alone contributed A$31 billion.<\/p>\n

International students contribute greatly to local economies too. They spend on accommodation, food, leisure and entertainment. Over\u00a031,000 jobs rely<\/a>\u00a0on the University of Sydney alone.<\/p>\n

Falling onshore international student numbers have magnified the pandemic\u2019s impacts. A Mitchell Institute\u00a0research paper<\/a>\u00a0last week forecast a 50% decline in onshore international students by mid-2021. The paper detailed the suburb-by-suburb economic impact on our cities.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0socio-cultural benefits<\/a>\u00a0these students bring are also habitually ignored or dismissed.<\/p>\n

Neglected, too, are the many benefits and opportunities, including \u201csoft power\u201d projection, that flow from having\u00a0hundreds of thousands of Australian university alumni worldwide<\/a>. There are well over 200,000 in China alone.<\/p>\n

Low road or high road?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The sector and policymakers now face a stark choice regarding the number, size and student profile of universities. In the post-pandemic world, and in the absence of increased direct government funding per student, the sector must choose between the \u201clow road\u201d and the \u201chigh road\u201d to survival and sustainability.<\/p>\n

The low road would involve pulling back to a largely or even wholly domestic focus. The results would very likely be sector-wide decline, shrinking universities, deteriorating campus facilities, a lowering of horizons and a reversion to a pre-1990s focus on domestic student education.<\/p>\n

Internationalism would give way to isolationism and educational nationalism of Trumpian proportions. This path would consign the sector to a future of parochialism, mediocrity and global irrelevance.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, the sector could take the \u201chigh road\u201d. This would involve repositioning itself as a high-quality provider of new forms of learning for both international and domestic students.<\/p>\n

The sector and government would have to work in partnership to rebuild universities\u2019 global brand and reputation, recover international student numbers and reprofile this student cohort. The latter step would aim both to improve the academic merit of students from China and diversify intakes.<\/p>\n

The high road is also the hard road. It requires a pro-active (not defensive) mindset and an all-round shift in perceptions of Australia, Australians and our universities. But it may well set the sector on a bright new path.<\/p>\n

The hope that a surge in domestic student demand will save the sector from atrophy is delusional. The government must either greatly increase recurrent funding per student or provide strong tactical support to recover and diversify international student enrolments. The latter approach would enable the sector to continue to cross-subsidise degree studies by domestic students, fund high-quality research, and develop campus and IT infrastructure\u00a0fit for the fourth industrial revolution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The sector can do this without major direct funding increases from a\u00a0debt-burdened government<\/a>. But government needs to help the sector help itself.<\/p>\n

A 10-point action plan<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Universities should act decisively and in concert to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. diversify international students<\/li>\n
  2. focus on all-round quality (admission quality, learning quality, graduate outcome quality) of Chinese students<\/li>\n
  3. increase strategic partnerships with international institutions as a channel for recruiting high-quality students<\/li>\n
  4. leverage international alumni networks more effectively to promote the sector and assist student recruitment and graduate placement<\/li>\n
  5. accentuate intensive courses for international students to capitalise on booming demand for life-long learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Government could support progress along the high road as follows:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. sponsor tripartite trade and education missions to target countries<\/li>\n
    2. expand support for intensive study visits<\/li>\n
    3. host sector-wide events and promote further learning for international alumni<\/li>\n
    4. actively encourage employers to provide in-program placements and onshore post-study work for new international graduates<\/li>\n
    5. sponsor initiatives to help graduates secure quality jobs in their home countries.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The sector and government should embrace the high road in partnership. This can only be achieved if we engage in a mature and nuanced discussion about root causes, practical solutions and the sort of university system we really wish to have in this country.<\/p>\n
