Dr Simon Marginson during his lecture in Sydney.

Dr Simon Marginson, Professor of Higher Education in the Centre for the Study of Higher Education at the University of Melbourne delivered a powerful lecture on the issues confronting Australia in the field of Cross-border students.

Dr Marginson recently published International Student Security, based on a close study of international students across Australia.

His lecture raised a number of serious issues to be addressed by government and education providers in order to arrest the sharp decline in student enrolments from abroad. The audience was very broadly based and raised significant questions with Dr Marginson.

The lecture was organised by the Community Relations Commission and chaired by Stepan Kerkyasharian, CRC Chairperson.
