Monash South Africa and Laureate Education have unveiled a partnership agreement that will enable the local higher education provider operated by Australia’s Monash University to expand its student enrolment and academic offerings.
A report commissioned by the Australian Council for Private Education and Training showed that private higher education providers could lose $50 million in revenue if they swapped full-fee places for commonwealth-supported places.
The number of students choosing private tertiary and vocational education over public has more than doubled in the past five years as students seek out specialised skills and a more personal service to get them into jobs.
