The Australian government is considering introducing new legislation limiting the number of international students, including Nigerians seeking visas.
According to a media release, the new rule is expected to be announced this week and will help advance the objectives of the government strategy.
According to the media release, the number of new international enrollments Australian universities can accept will be limited.
The release noted that it is a soft cap and will not be a strict, rigid limit on student numbers.
The proposed cap model offers flexibility by allowing schools to exceed the cap if they can build new student accommodation.
Additionally, the upcoming legislation will introduce several new rules aimed at the country’s education sector:

The reforms would affect international students, including Nigerians and other foreign workers.
Miller announced this during a press briefing as he unveiled plans to limit the entry of temporary foreign workers into the country.
