Australia takes in 28 for every one student it sends abroad, a new report has found.
The figures have been revealed in the latest Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report, which showed the nation had the highest ratio of all 36 member countries.
Other countries took in an average of four students for every one they sent overseas.
The Education at a Glance report revealed one in five Australian tertiary students were internationals, compared to just one in 20 for other countries.
And of all countries, Australia took in 10 per cent of the total number of foreign students.
