Private colleges around Australia offering last-minute discounts for diploma allegedly ‘misused by shonks’

The Australian government has announced plans to deregister the Graduate Diploma of Management, a diploma offered by numerous private colleges across the country, due to concerns that it is being "misused by non-genuine" students to remain in the country. This move comes as the federal government aims to regulate and maintain the integrity of its education system.

In response to this decision, private colleges are now offering last-minute discounts to encourage students to complete their studies before the diploma is cancelled.
