Australia has introduced a significant change regarding international student enrollment, aimed at managing the growing demand for its educational programs. On August 27, 2024, the government announced the implementation of a National Planning Level (NPL), which will serve as a cap on the number of new international students allowed each year. This move is part of broader efforts to balance the expansion of educational opportunities with national resource planning and infrastructure capacities.
