in Australia (Abdullah, Omar, & Ahmad, 2018). Some of these elements range from
marginalization of students to peripheral education programs that cause several variations in how
individuals are educated. The use of special education, especially among the international
students, also underpins how other locals learn within the region. Besides, presences of different
programs that are termed to be at-risk programs affect how individuals learn. The use of English
as the second language in different learning centers make it easy for English native speakers to
