UNEQUAL FEE CHARGES FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS IN AUSTRALIA2IntroductionHaving researched Australia education, mainly on the fee charges, it reveals that theinternational students pay higher than the native students. It is a dream of many frominternational students especially from Asia, Africa and the rest of the world to go and study inAustralia. However, their dreams become shattered when it comes to battling with financialproblems. The situation is further worsened when they are required to pay higher than the localstudents. This is clear indication that international students are not treated equally with the otherstudents. The inequality on fee charges raises the alarm and it is a problem that needs to look into with great concern. Finding from different universities in the country show that most studentshave not graduated due to the financial problem[CITATION Raz15 \l 1033 ]. DiscussionBased on the fee charges set by the university, for example, science course will cost astudent from Australia $8,500 every year while a student from oversea will be charged $35,500every year. Looking at the issue on the legal basis, it is termed to be right since it is believed thatinternational student does not pay taxes to the government of Australia and that is the reason whythey are charged high prices. The taxes are believed to be contributing towards the running of theuniversity. However, this utilitarian argument seems to hold no water. This argument will onlybe justifiable if either the university education was free or universities were newly built.However, this is not the case because many of the universities in Australia are well-establishedand education is not free[ CITATION Raz15 \l 1033 ]. Therefore, there is no validity of the consensusthat international students should pay more than the rest of the students because they do not payAustralian taxes.
