International students will soon be allowed to travel to Australia

Scott Morrison, Prime Minister of Australia revealed a three-stage framework out of Corona virus restrictions on 8th if May that will open the door for international students to return to Australian universities.

It is estimated that almost 10% of students enrolled in Australian education institutes are currently outside the country and unable to travel back.

The international education lobby has been pushing for an exemption to travel bans for international students.

“Clearly without any international students coming into the country, Australia’s fourth-biggest industry is in a major crisis,” International Education Association of Australia CEO Phil Honeywood said.

Australian universities are expected to record large losses as a result of forced campus closures and border restrictions.
