深入简化学生签证流程，促进澳洲教育产业增长

      澳大利亚教育部部长、国会议员克里斯托弗·派恩阁下与澳大利亚移民与边境保护部部长、议院领袖斯科特·莫里森阁下举行联合新闻发布会。
      新一届联合政府将尽快采取措施以挽回工党执政时期给澳大利亚的国际教育产业带来的损失，并使之重新成为澳大利亚经济最重要的贡献者之一。
      移民与边境保护部部长斯科特·莫里森与教育部部长克里斯托弗·派恩公布了一系列简化学生签证流程的措施，包括简化风险等级框架（ALF）和扩大SVP的适用范围至一些低风险的非大学教育机构。
      “这些改革有助于所有的教育机构--尤其是职业和培训教育机构，依托澳洲的教育体制来吸引更多的学生。”莫里森先生说。
      “ALF下的风险等级将由5类减为3类，对3级风险学生的资金要求由18个月减为12个月，前提是必须由申请人的近亲提供担保。这就意味着有大量的来自主要生源地的学生只需要40,000澳元即可申请学生签证。”
      莫里森先生上周公布的学生签证简化流程将使多达22所低风险的非大学教育机构受益，从而更好地为学生提供本科、硕士和博士课程或符合条件的交流项目。
      教育部长派恩说，这些措施会吸引更多的学生来澳学习，从而有利于完善我们的教育体制，创造就业机会以及刺激经济发展。
      “非大学教育是整个教育产业出口的一个重要贡献者。”派恩如是说。
      “这些改革措施使得职业培训教育能够为我们的计划做出更大的贡献，以重振澳洲的高等教育产业--该产业在巅峰时期曾为澳洲带来190亿澳元的出口收入。其中非大学教育为澳洲直接或间接创造了数以千计的就业岗位。如果能够简化程序，吸引更多的学生来到澳洲接受世界一流的教育，我们一定会获益更多。”
      派往22所非大学教育机构的邀请将于接下来的几周内陆续发出。
      根据澳大利亚移民与边境保护部助理部长、参议员卡什阁下做出的相关法律条款的改变，澳洲政府将于2014年初出台具体的实施细节。

                     New streamlined student visas to grow Australian education
      Joint media release with the Hon Christopher Pyne MP – Minister for Education, Leader of the House and the Hon Scott Morrison MP – Minister for Immigration and Border Protection.
      The new Coalition Government will move quickly to begin undoing Labor's damage to Australia's international education sector – and restore it as one of Australia's most important economic contributors.
      Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Scott Morrison and Minister for Education, Christopher Pyne announced a package of measures that would simplify student visas through a streamlined assessment-level framework (ALF) and by extending streamlined visa processing arrangements to low-risk non-university degree providers.
      The changes will assist all providers, but particularly the vocational education and training sector, making access to Australia's education system more attractive for overseas students,' Mr Morrison said.
      'Assessment levels under the ALF would be reduced from five levels to three, while financial evidence for AL3 students would reduce from 18 months to 12 months, provided funds were from a close relative of the student applicant. This would mean students from a number of key markets would be able to apply for a student visa with up to $A40 000 less in the bank.'
      Streamlining of the visa application process that Mr Morrison announced last week would benefit up to 22 low-risk non-university providers for students enrolled in Bachelor, Masters or Doctoral degree courses or an eligible exchange programme.
      Minister for Education Mr Pyne said the measures would attract more overseas students to Australia, benefit our education system, create Australian jobs and stimulate our economy.
      'The non-university sector is an important contributor to our overall education exports,' Mr Pyne said.
      These changes would allow the vocational training sector to contribute more freely to our plan to restore Australia's tertiary education system to its former peak of almost $19 billion in export income for the nation.
      'The non-university education system supports thousands of Australian jobs directly, and indirectly.
      'If we cut red tape and allow more students into Australia to access a world-class tertiary education we all stand to gain.'
      Invitations to the 22 non-university providers will go out in coming weeks.
      Subject to relevant legislative change under the stewardship of the Assistant Minister for Immigration and Border Protection, Senator the Hon. Michaelia Cash, the government would implement both elements of the package in early 2014.
