Agencies blamed for study scams

Chinese agencies that connect students with overseas studies opportunities are in the spotlight again after the closure of five private schools in Australia run by Global Campus Management Group (GCMG).

The schools, which closed in November, include GCM Fashion Institute, Meridian International School, Meridian International Hotel School, International Design School and Meridian College.

Many Chinese students told METRO their agencies had strongly recommended schools from the group when they applied.
