The best source of statistics for the English language sector is the annual Report produced by English Australia with funding support from the Australian government. This Report includes all students regardless of their visa type (the 2014 survey indicated that 34% of English language students held visitor, working holiday or other visas and are therefore not captured by either the DIBP or DET statistics). This is the Executive Summary of the annual report (which is made available to all interested stakeholders at no charge). The full 150 page Report, with detailed tables and charts, is made available free of charge to all colleges that participate in the survey and to government departments. Copies of the full Report are also available to other interested parties for a fee. |
