This table illustrates how many foreign students studied at language schools in Australia from 1996 to 1998. The statistics are divided into four groups based on nationality.
Throughout this period, by far the largest number of students came from Asia. However, the number of Asian students declined from 64, 841 in 1996 to 43, 220 in 1998, a decrease of around 30%. Similarly, there was a fall in the number of European students from 6, 695 in 1996 to 4, 378 in 1998. It is, however, interesting to note that this number peaked at 8, 012 in 1997 before almost halving the next year. In contrast, the number of Central and South American and African students rose, although they still made up an insignificant proportion of the overall total.
To summarise, although there was a slight increase in the number of students from some regions, there was a major decline in the total number of international students from 1996 to 1998.
