The
Australian Education Exhibition 2013 will be held at the Marco Polo
Hotel in Davao on Friday, May 17. It moves to the Dusit Thani Makati
the following day, culminating with its Cebu staging at the Radisson
Blu Hotel Cebu on Sunday, May 19.
The
United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s
Institute of Statistics reports that Australia ranks among the top
five destinations for tertiary education among the world’s mobile
students. In 2010, it received 17% of the total number of students
hosted in the East Asia and Pacific countries, second only to the
United States.
From
July 2011 to June 2012, there were 2,633 Filipino students who went
to Australia to study, making it the Number 1 study destination of
Filipinos.
Students
prefer to go to Australia for diploma, certificate, training and
further education (TAFE) because the country offers many benefits,
foremost of which are internationally recognized qualifications,
part-time work opportunities and higher post-graduation employability
potential.
Changes
were made in March to the Temporary Graduate visa allowing recent
graduates the opportunity to spend more time in Australia (to gain
practical experience) following completion of their bachelor’s,
master’s or doctoral degrees.
As
it continues to host students from different cultures, Australia is
also able to offer an increasingly diversified cultural environment.
Graduates then have the advantage of being exposed to a variety of
cultures and building an international network of contacts which they
can tap into once they enter the workplace.
IDP
Education Pty. Ltd. is the world authority in Australian education
being 50% owned by 38 Australian universities. It is the world’s
largest student placement and English language testing services
provider.
IDP
Philippines opened in 1996 and has since provided free admissions and
visa counselling to place thousands of students in colleges and
universities in Australia, the US, UK, New Zealand and Canada. The
annual Australian Education Exhibition brings representatives of
Australian universities and TAFE colleges to the Philippines for
direct consultations and admissions facilitation and is considered
the best means for students to consider available education options,
providing information on courses and programs, admissions
requirements, costs and living arrangements.
Filipinos
are on the brink of becoming a significant player in the
international market. The deployment of the young abroad to achieve
not only a better understanding of other people but also advanced
systems can only enhance the advantages they now have. There is no
block or hindrance to achieving international recognition except for
the reluctance to try. Filipinos, forge ahead!
