Federal cabinet is to consider the principles around proposed caps on foreign student enrolments, with specific limits for individual universities and colleges to be released in coming days.  High-level sources said the government would set January 1, 2025, as the start date for the caps, resisting pressure from universities and colleges to delay their introduction for a year.” Around 10 universities have enrolments of 40 per cent or higher, most notably Sydney, Melbourne, Monash, Queensland and the University of NSW.
