International Education Strategy

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:59): Supplementary arising from the answer: is the minister able to outline which recommendations of the Joyce review pertain to international education and what stage of implementation they are up to?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:59): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. Obviously, in the Joyce review it was identified that international education be one of our key sectors, and that is why the sector plan has been developed. A range of the other implementations from the Joyce review support a number of the sectors, but we have got eight sectors, we are rolling out the plans, and then we have had the growth chapters for our growth state agenda which will be released later in the year.
