Dear Mr Saboo
08 FEB 2016
I am writing to thank you for your contribution to developing the National Strategy for International
Education. It is a truly exciting time for international education and I am honoured to be a part of this
work as Australia's first Minister for International Education.
The National Strategy is intended to set a ten year vision for Australian international education, placing
the learner at the heart of our collective efforts. I would like our joint effort to strengthen our
internationally recognised education and training services and increase collaboration with global
partners as well as local communities.
You may have seen the OECD's recent publication, Education at a Glance 2015, where Australia has
moved to be the third most popular study destination for tertiary students. We are expecting over
635,000 enrolments in 2015, which will be a new all−time high, surpassing the previous peak in 2009. I
am keen to ensure we grow international education sustainably to complement the diversification of our
education and training services offshore.
As an overarching whole−of−Australia strategy, the National Strategy has been developed in partnership
with states and territories, businesses and the full breadth of stakeholders. Over 120 submissions were
received in response to the Draft National Strategy for International Education and two roundtables were
held to consult with the Australian international education community. Your feedback and ideas have
been taken into account in finalising the strategy, which I intend to launch in early 2016.
Implementation of the strategy will require a coordinated approach to ensure Australian international
education continues to be a transformative force for our learners, communities and economies. I look
forward to continuing to work with you to achieve our shared goals.
Yours sincerely
Richard Colbecic—'
