Indian students 'in limbo' over flying school review
Sydney: Indian students at a Sydney flying school say their futures remain in limbo, while authorities review a decision to de-register the facility.
Last month, the New South Wales Government’s education watchdog announced that Aerospace Aviation was being de-registered, after an audit found it was in breach of training standards.
Several students complained that they had paid thousands of dollars in tuition fees but did not get the promised training.
The flying school appealed against the decision, prompting an internal departmental review which will be completed within a fortnight.
At a meeting yesterday with federal education authorities, students were urged to remain at the school which is being allowed to operate while the review is taking place.
But several Indian students have told the ABC the meeting did nothing to reassure them and that they hope the school folds so they can finish their studies elsewhere.
