What now? What next? Insights into Australia's tertiary education sector

Michael Fay OAM - deepening our engagement with ASEAN universities and so much more

In this episode, Claire speaks with Michael Fay OAM, Director and Head of Education Services at AFG Venture Group and Special Advisor to the Executive Director of the ASEAN Universities Network.

Michael shares his deep experience and insights on Australia's universities' (and VET providers') engagement in Southeast Asia and with ASEAN - and talks about the upcoming ASEAN Australia Education Dialogue being held later this year.

In her introduction Claire recognises the efforts of Austrade to sensitively communicate the recent decision by the Australian government to introduce caps on new international student numbers in 2025, see the Study in Australia website

And as Michael notes, the details of the upcoming AAED Dialogue have not yet been finalised but you can look back at the previous dialogues on the AAED website and there's the option on that page to subscribe to their newsletter to keep updated (or connect with Michael on LinkedIn) or you can check out the ASEAN Universities Network website
