With that in mind, the Australian government began looking toward education as a revenue-earning resource, hoping that schools could boost their incomes by taking in foreign students, in the same way the country as a whole was seeking to attract well-heeled immigrant investors, or business migrants.
澳洲政府於是把教育也當成資源，和開放需自備一筆龐大資金的「商業投資移民」一樣，以教育吸取資金，希望學校因此能有收入來彌補日漸支絀的經費。
