A Senate report has recommended changes to the federal government's proposed cap on international student enrolments, which is set to limit numbers to 270,000 by 2025. The report suggests scrapping the ministerial power to set course-specific caps, a move that has caused delays and pushback from both senators and the education sector. The proposed legislation has faced criticism for potentially harming the international education market, leading to further uncertainty about its future implementation.
