That means universities will have to deliver fewer places for the set amount of money,” Mr Norton said. “Certainly, the UK, Canada and others have really stepped up [in competing for international students]. China’s stepping up in competition in terms of providing a high-quality service for international students.”The Australian Financial ReviewHe said the declining Australian dollar kept a lid on increasing tuition fees and that the discounting of tuition fees introduced under COVID-19 would likely stay in place until student numbers started to rebound.
