1.0 Introduction

1.1 Background


Education in Australia is forth largest export. In 2012 generated $14.5
billion in export income and predicted to grow into $19.9 billion by 2020 by
a report for the federal Government by a committee (International
Education Advisory Council) chaired by NAB chairman Michael Chaney.
Education in Australia is the fastest growing export sector in Australia.
International students make a significant contribution to Australian society,
diversifying and enriching communities, and strengthening Australias
global networks. The decision to study in Australia also offers many
benefits to international students, allowing them to gain a high quality,
internationally recognized education, as well as the opportunity to
experience life in Australia.
The international education sector is important not only to Australian
society, but also the countrys economy. International education activity
contributed $16.3 billion in export income to the Australian economy in
201011. Furthermore, many educational institutions rely on the income
from full-fee paying international students to assist in the provision of
quality education to all students, both international and domestic.
In 2009, over one in five (22%) tertiary students studying in Australia
were international students.
While the size of the international student population is considerable
both in tertiary and other sectors, Australias international education sector
is undergoing a period of change. This change is driven by adjustments to
Australias migration policy, as well as changing perceptions of the
Australian education market, the increased value of the Australian dollar,
and the growth of Australias overseas competitors.

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2006
evaluation ranked the Australian education system as sixth for reading,
eighth for science and thirteenth for mathematics, on a worldwide scale
including 56 countries.
The PISA 2009 evaluation ranked the Australian education system as
sixth for reading, seventh for science and ninth for mathematics, an
improvement relative to the 2006 rankings.
In 2012, education firm Pearson ranked Australian education as
thirteenth in the world. The Education Index, published with the UN's
Human Development Index in 2008, based on data from 2006, lists
Australia as 0.993, amongst the highest in the world, tied for first with
Denmark and Finland.


1.2 Aim of the report

This report was commissioned by Samuelson Worldwide Education
with the aim of gaining an understanding of the Australian education
export industry. They are thinking about opening up a college in Australia.
This report will focus on the 4 sectors being secondary schools,
ELICOS, VET and Higher Education.
The purpose of this report is to look at export trends of education and
the future this sector holds. Based on this investigation an appropriate
sector will be recommended for an ideal investment opportunity.

2.0 Interpret market trends and developments

2.1 Ten-year trend for international student enrollments by sector
YTD March 20052014



There has been a significant drop in commencements from 2011. This
might have to do with the Australian Dollar reaching record levels making it
stronger than American Dollar hence making it extremely unaffordable to
live in Australia. Also there were significant changes to the Visa
arrangement.
However there is an increase in numbers since then.
The sectors that are performing well are ELICOS (positive growth of
4.2%), followed by secondary schooling, Other (foundation programs).
Higher education is still not performing well and this could be because of
the Dollar and competitors NZ, USA and UK.

2.5 PESTEL

PESTLE analysis is a concept used as a tool by companies to track the
environment theyre operating in or are planning to launch a new project/
product/service etc.
PESTLE is a mnemonic which in its expanded form denotes P for Political,
E for Economic, S for Social, T for Technological, L for Legal and E for
Environmental. It gives a birds eye view of the whole environment from
many different angles that one wants to check and keep a track of while
contemplating on a certain idea/plan.
The framework has undergone certain alterations, as gurus of
Marketing have added certain things like an E for Ethics to instill the
element of demographics while utilizing the framework while researching
the market.
There are certain questions that one needs to ask while conducting
this analysis, which give them an idea of what things to keep in mind. They
are:

What is the political situation of the country and how can it affect the
industry?

What are the prevalent economic factors?

How much importance does culture has in the market and what are its
determinants?

What technological innovations are likely to pop up and affect the market
structure?

Are there any current legislations that regulate the industry or can there
be any change in the legislations for the industry?

What are the environmental concerns for the industry?

All the aspects of this technique are crucial for any industry a
business might be in. More than just understanding the market, this
framework represents one of the vertebras of the backbone of strategic
management that not only defines what a company should do, but also
accounts for an organizations goals and the strategies stringed to them.
15
P

Australia has a stable government which is based on freedom of

speech, religious tolerance and the rule of low.

Visas in Australia for most of foreign countries are fairly easy to

get. The most common are Student Visa and Work and Holiday
Visa. The former is suitable for people who attend a long
educational journey and it allows the student to work 20 hours per
week. The latter is suitable for people between 18-30 years old,
and it allows to study up to 4 months and work 38 hours per week
for a maximum of 6 months for the same company.
E

Australia is considered the most expensive country for overseas

students. The main reason is the average cost of university fees
and living costs which are more than US $38,000 per year.

Australia is anyway one of the most common destinations for

international students thanks to the drop of the Australian dollar
which make it more affordable.

The unemployment rate is low and it is fairly easy for student to

find a part time occupation.
S

Australia social value has been increasing during the last couple
of years. The government is very supportive of festival and social
events.

Having English as the native language, Australia is seen as a very

good opportunity for young people to acquire or improve their
knowledge of english while living in one of the most beautiful
country in the world.

Australia is a very cosmopolitan country. In one city people have

the opportunity to meet people from different nationality and learn
about different cultures.
T

Technology is a valuable tool in the educational sector. It

improves the facilities and gives student extra support.

In modern times online distance learning has become very

popular. It allows student to follow lecture from their home/country
without the commitment of moving to the school place, which
makes it very affordable for student who wish to study abroad.

2.6 SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis is a simple tool to help work out the internal and
external factors affecting the business. It is one of the most commonly
used business analysis and decision-making tools. A SWOT analysis
helps:
build on strengths (S)
minimise weakness (W)
seize opportunities (O)
counteract threats (T)
A SWOT analysis is often part of strategic planning. It can understand
your business and work out what areas need improving. It can also help
understand the market, including the competitors, and predict changes.
E

Environmental factors include the weather and the climate

change.

Australia is a continent that experiences a variety of climates due

to its size. There is not one single seasonal calendar for the entire
continent. Instead there are six climatic zones and this translates
as two main seasonal patterns.
L

In the past year they have been some changes implemented by

the Australian Government to streamline international student visa
processing, introduced in 2012, should also help increase the
influx of international students to Australia.

3.0 Qualitative Analysis

3.1 Approach

Explain here that the 3 sectors that are performing well

Based on the data, Higher education and VET are the best
performing sector because the have been growing over the years,
although the ELICOS sector is chosen for further investigation because it
is the only sector which was consistent over the years. Therefore a
qualitative analysis on this sector is done.
The ELICOS sector is a sector that will continue to see growth. It
is recommended that an organization like ILSC could be seen as an ideal
opportunity for Investment. ILSC is a language school who offers a wide
range of programs and courses. Subject taught at ILSC include General
English, IELTS Preparation, Cambridge Preparation, VET and TESOL.
In order to understand ILSC market position we will do a qualitative
analysis in which we will:

Research the sector

Develop survey

Survey 20 people

Stating the fact that from the gathered datas education in Australia
is a highly competitive industry. For this reason it is necessary that
Australian teaching institutes look at multi campus or collaborative options
closely because that could open more possibilities.
Furthermore the company could be open to the possibility of online
delivery which can assist with retaining numbers enrolled while managing
the companys financial state (which is high).
In addition, increasing working holiday study programs could be a
smart way to proceed because, as was previously mention, student visa
and work and holiday visa have been increasing a lot over the part years.
This would mean considering shorter courses with flexibility to pursue
employment.
For all those reasons, investing in an existing organization like ILSC
during this period of time would be a very profitable choice.
