Australia likely to see decline in International Enrollment

Australia is likely to see a 10 percent drop in international student enrollment according to a report by Hobson Asia-Pacific.

The decline of students from India will be a large contributor to that percentage.

"If the drop in inquiries during the last quarter continues, then the drop in enrollments in the second semester of 2010 could be double digit," said David Harrington, managing director of Hobson Asia-Pacific, a company representing 14 universities.

The education demand in Australia continues as inquiries from China and India are made, and China's inquiries are up 15 percent, according to the report.
