What is Education Law?
Education Law refers to the legislation and regulations that govern education providers and protect the rights of students and employees.
Education in Australia
For students, education paves the way for the future. For employees, it means being part of a sector that makes a massive contribution to the Australian economy and society. In 2018-19, education contributed $37.6 billion to the national economy. Australia also leads the world in terms of international students per head of population.
From a local perspective, education is a major economic driver for the Gold Coast, valued at more than $3.4 billion. With more than 200 education and training institutions – and growing – the sector serves the local community and 32,000 international students from more than 130 countries.
