In recent mass media news, a Melbourne based learing institute has been the centre of an education scam. The Royal Melbourne Institue of Technology (RMIT) has been caught out 'giving' degrees to overseas students.
Unfortunately this is NOT an isolated incident, and is only the tip of the iceberg on a NATIONAL SCALE.
Information obtained from a University source, has indicated that ALL Australian Universities subscribe to this kind of 'business'.
The DOLLAR VALUE is of extreme importance to the Universities. The Universities employ marketing personnel overseas to market the Uni's in order to entice rich families to send their childeren to Australia.
This in effect has a disasterous result of Australian students who do not get a placement due to the overseas 'dollar'.
Current overseas students are being 'given' (by direct or indirect payment to the Universities) degrees who cannot read or even write English with astonishing pass rates for the overseas pupils.
This is supporteds by government's and businesses alike as it generates an entire economy, i.e student housing, travel agencies, etc.
It is estimated that billions of dollars are obtained from this fraudulent business.
This fraudulent business practice will NEVER be stopped only the people opposing it be silenced.
