NCUK has partnered with Education New Zealand to enable international students to access education at the country's universities while borders remain closed.

The first international students, from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia, have arrived in Australia since the travel ban, on a pilot flight and headed to Charles Darwin University.

Policy makers, educators and employers must cooperate to create environments where students can utilise work integrated learning to improve employment outcomes while Covid-19 has "accelerated" of change in the world of work, stakeholders in Australia have urged.

A toolkit supporting growth and sustainability in international engagement in the Australian school sector has been developed by Monash University.

New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian wants to earmark some of the state's hotel quarantine capacity to help international students and skilled migrants.

Australia is predicted to lose around half of its international student population by mid 2020 if borders remain closed, a leading education think tank has suggested.

Some 100,000 university students in Australia may be unable to participate in a learning abroad experience in 2020 and 2021.

Australia's PM confirmed last week that Australian citizens and residents would be prioritised in terms of border arrivals so no extension of limited pilot flights will happen – for now.
