On September 15, the CEO of the Australia Eight School Alliance, Vicki Thomson, issued a statement rejecting the drastic reduction of international students as a simple answer to immigration policy. She advocated maintaining the quality of education and institutional integrity, taking into account research on talent and future manpower needs.
Background of the debate
On the same day, AAP reported on the immigration claims of One Nation and interviewed Phil Honeywood, head of the Australian Association for International Education, to highlight the concerns of the educational community about the impact of the proposal. These are assessments of the policy debate and persons concerned, and cannot be written in terms of the closure of universities or the cancellation of student visas.
Critical Time and Rule State
September 15 is the date of the League statement and the article, not the date of entry into force of the political party proposal referred to here. The two sources do not provide a date for implementation of the new regulations in force, a quota for applicants in Taiwan or a full exception clause, so this paper does not replace the reader.
Impact on families in Taiwan
Edition proposal: When reading the title of the immigrant, first confirming the speaker, whether there is an official government announcement and the date of application, then adjusting the study-at-school programme. Political parties ' advocacy with university groups cannot be a substitute for visa requirements. School fees, admissions and family arrangements shall be checked against the current documents of the school and the competent authority, and the results of the individual application shall not be directly inferred from political slogans.
Date of verification: 17 September 2026 (Taiwan Time).
