• W605583904 abstract "AbstractIn 1985, the Australian government instituted major changes to its international student policy. These changes signalled a shiftin International Student Program intent from an emphasis on international enrolments as a form of humanitarianism - the main focus of the Program since its inception in 1950 - to a tradeorientated approach in which international student fees represented an important source of revenue for tertiary institutions. Whilst this paradigmatic shiftin the conceptualisation of international student enrolments is well documented, the manner in which this transition to a market-oriented Program is represented in the media of the time has attracted less scholarly attention. This paper reports on research that examines Australian newspaper coverage of the International Student Program and its transition to a trade-orientated model during the 1980s and into the 1990s and early 2000s. Importantly, it identifies two discursive constructions of the international student population that co-exist within the textual corpus, expressing contrasting views about the nature and purpose of education.This paper has been peer reviewedThe Origins of the International Student ProgramAn official program for the coordinated intake of international students was established in 1950 with Australia's involvement in the Colombo Plan, a Commonwealth scheme to improve the economic conditions of post-colonial Asia.1 As part of the Colombo Plan, Asian students travelled to Australia to pursue tertiary qualifications in order to contribute to the task of economic development in their home countries. Along with students sponsored under the Colombo Plan and other scholarship programs, private students enrolled at tertiary institutions throughout Australia. As Waldron comments, it was essential for the government to allow the entry of private students, as the limited finances of the scholarship scheme rendered it impossible for Australia to provide sponsored places for each applicant.2 These private students received an education subsidy from the Australian government but financed their own entry, departure and living expenses.3The International Student Program's origins in the Colombo Plan meant that it was generally considered a form of aid in the first decades of Program operation4 and strong evidence of this humanitarian interpretation exists in the Australian print media coverage of the 1950s and 1960s.5 In reality, it is estimated that most international students of this time were financed partially or entirely through private means.6 Nevertheless, media accounts of the International Student Program in the mid-twentieth century emphasised Australia's financial contributions with little acknowledgement of student expenditure. A 1945 report in The Advertiser typifies this mentality, relaying the comments of the General Secretary of the National Union of Australian Students: 'The admission of foreign students would not detrimentally affect the economic position of Australia, because their numbers would be small compared with the population of the Commonwealth.'7Waldron8 reports that the first Program Interdepartmental Conference in 1950 held by the Department of Immigration to determine the administrative structures for the International Student Program discussed the task of promoting Australia as a study destination. Among the matters to be addressed at the conference was the composition of a promotional booklet advertising Australian schools and universities. A Melbourne University academic reportedly asserted the primary importance of academic qualifications in the selection criteria for international students and signalled The University of Melbourne's desire to pursue such students as 'clients'. Interestingly, this intention to promote Australian education attracts little media coverage in national newspapers of the time.Waldron9 further advises that, following the 1951 Registrars' Conference, additional Australian universities expressed interest in advertising courses in Asia and by 1953 formally set out their respective entrance requirements. …" @default.
