Bashings undermine image blitz from The Age and
Indian students in Oz to be trained in self-defence skills from Samachar.com
Here is an article from The Outlook by Namrata Goswami'Racism' Down Under
where the views are similar to my impressions. One excerpt:
"Higher education sectors in Melbourne like hospitality, teaching etc have been taken over by the private sector which is mostly unregulated by the government. Most of these private institutes attract students from India and China with the promise of world class courses, accommodation and jobs but end up ‘way short’ in reality."
I met student from Hyderabad yesterday who utilized one of these private sector organizations with are cruiting adency in Hyderabad. Apparently it costs about 2 to 3lakh rupees for bribes and applications for various certificates and there was no orentation advice. He was told that he could go and do whatever he liked. I know of one private institute which provides these courses in Melbourne. It did provide jobs for many Indians here. When I enquired about part time work for an Indian student, I was told that he could teach their institute! There are stories that one of the 'owners' was beaten up by disgruntled students and left for USA. A few who worked in that institute are now starting their own institute.
