Regulating international students' wellbeing

"Universities and governments want to attract international students, but rarely consider student wellbeing. This book's account of critical issues, with two national good practice case studies, is essential reading for international education policymakers." ---Dean Forbes, Matthew Flinders Distinguished Professor, Flinders University, Australia. "This is a welcome study of the regulatory problems associated with increased mobility by international students. It identifies different approaches for balancing the role of markets and forms of public regulation. The book shines a light on weaknesses in current methods of supporting students and ensuring that their welfare remains paramount and is not overshadowed by competitive pressures on host institutions." ---Mark Considine, Professor of Political Science and Dean of Arts, University of Melbourne. "In the fast moving push in international student recruitment, Ramia and his colleagues call for a necessary pause to consider quality over market share and conditions over enrolments. As a follow-up to International Student Security, based on their interviews of 270 international students in Australia and New Zealand, the authors provide an insightful analysis of the regulatory structures and conditions that impact international students' well being." ---Jenny J. Lee, Associate Professor, Center for the Study of Higher Education, University of Arizona.
