Here is some good news for international students wishing to study in Australia. The Guardian reports on Australia re-starting the granting of international student visas.
Australia will recommence granting international student visas, and allow current students to count online study while overseas, in a push to restart international education. The changes, announced by acting immigration minister Alan Tudge, respond to demands from the university sector to help it attract international students and revive what was Australia’s third-largest export before the Covid-19 recession.
The announcement was cautiously welcomed but caused confusion in the university sector, which had demanded that current and future students gain the ability to study online but despite being left off the announcement it is thought the concession will also apply to future students.
Chalkface will follow this story as more details become available. Stay tuned for further updates.
