More than 70 people attended the Austrade-organised event. Participants included representatives from Wollongong, Murdoch and Edith Cowen Universities; providers of vocational education at the Rashid Hospital; principals from Australian schools located in the UAE; and Emirates Airlines.
Student recruitment, along with the provision of services in market, remain two of the key pillars of Austrade’s education strategy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The Governor-General has a strong interest in the sector and wished to better understand the depth of Australia’s education engagement in the MENA region and also to reinforce her support.
