Re: Education Services for Overseas Students Legislation 2000

Dear Mr Carter,

As an English Australia College and myself as a member of the EA Council
I would like to express my concern that the proposed ESOS legislation
contains a range of issues that need to be discussed further and amended
in the interests of many providers within the education industry. Some
of these general issues relate to Tuition Assurance Schemes, a Fidelity
Fund, and a National Code and have been addressed in English Australia's
recent submission to your committee.

I would like to voice my support for the EA's submission and I very much
hope that many of the points contained in the submission will be given
due consideration by the Committee Enquiry. Furthermore I hope that any
resulting legislation will help to strengthen the international
education industry and allow it to continue to expand and develop in a
postive and beneficial way.

Yours sincerely,
Robin Simpson
