Quotes attributable to Minister for Skills, Training and International Education Joel Bowden:

“Student wellbeing is vital for growth in the international education and training sector, a positive experience shared by students has ongoing impacts in attracting further students to the Territory

“With more than 5,000 international students enrolled in the Territory we want to support their social connections and ensure students feel a sense of belonging here in the NT.

“International students make a valuable contribution to our society, strengthening cultural, social and economic ties and offering diversity to the community and skills to the workforce.”
