I heard from my teacher that from next year, English wont have to be included in top 4 subjects anymore. Is that true ?

No. It certainly hasn't been made non compulsory. If it had there would be widespread media coverage about it.

This supposition gets raised every year and it's obviously not true lol.

I guess you wouldn't want someone who can't speak English well doing Law or Journalism. ;)

that doesn't mean they can do law or journalism. Pre-requisites ensure that you are qualified" enough to get into the course. That is why for law, generally the pre-requisite is to get above 35 in english.

How long do the Contexts stay around for before they're replaced with new (even more ambiguous) ones?

ehh i don't see their impatience, if there is any. i mean hello? ESL! wait did i mention all the LOTEs that are available to international students. I would say that we're at a disadvantage because sending your child overseas to study costs a lot, and the students must damn well be smart. So it's either they're good at maths/science which scales like a mother fucker which = good ENTER anyway or good at humanities/arts which would make you good at english anyway.

win/win situation for international students

or they can do IB and gtfo :P jkz.
