Wilcock said the Australian government invests more than 200 million Australian dollars each year in scholarships that supports around 5,000 overseas students, researchers and professionals to study in Australia.
Currently, around 7000 Bangladeshi students are studying in Australia, he said.
Representatives from 21 leading Australian universities are present at the exhibition to provide higher education and admission related information to students.
