Water safety for international students studying in Australia

Abstract

Water safety for international students is an issue shared by many nations, especially with the globalization of education (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO], 2018). In 2016, for example, there were over 4.8 million international students globally, up from 2 million in 2000. More than half of these students were enrolled in educational programs in six countries: the US, the UK, Australia, France, Germany, and the Russian Federation. Prominent sending countries of international students include China, India, Germany, South Korea, Nigeria, France, Saudi Arabia, and several Central Asian countries (Migration Data Portal, 2018).
