Rising inflation, concerns about China security and the Ukraine crisis will all have “long-term impacts” on international education, stakeholders at BUILA’s conference said.

Inflation is impacting schools and agents on “numerous fronts” and may result in the need for them to increase their prices says ALTO.

Inflation is emerging as another key challenge to international education recovery in Australia, with providers being encouraged to be vigilant in their monitoring and proactive in their response.

Some international students have been left unable to afford basic necessities as inflation reaches a 30-year high, with the Canadian Federation of Students calling for more work rights.
