China is recruiting our teachers. Not just from Australia either, but also US and UK. In the last 12 months I've had two mates (white aussies) in the teaching industry migrate over there (pre-pandemic) because the opportunities were better. There are approx half a million foreign teachers alone living in China. They always play the long game. They don't have to "steal" our IP, they just invite them over.
"Good" you say...who is going to fill the gap in this $19b sector? How is this in Australia's best interest? Do you think universities are holding these places just for the Chinese, and that Indians will start flooding in? Work out how much it costs foreigners to come study here and you'll know why India won't fill the gap. So, what does (or did) Australia get out of this?
