UK education stakeholders are seeking to clarify rules for incoming students from India, after the British government added India's Covishield program to its approved vaccines for travel.

An estimated 13,000 international students who do not already hold residence permits for Taiwan could be permitted to enter the country, government has suggested.

UUKi has said it is confident that the UK government will be able to provide enough quarantine hotel places for international students.

International students are "willing to do all they can" to study on campuses this year, including quarantining on arrival, complying with vaccination requirements and beginning studies online if they can later transfer to in-person class, IDP Connect research has suggested.

The question I have for the government is can they cope with the volume of quarantining and what happens if they can't?

UK universities have been offering help to cover the cost of quarantine, but arrangements for September and the influx of students are still being debated.

Stakeholders are hopeful that India being placed on the UK's travel red list will not have too great an impact on student recruitment and arrivals.

International students have voiced concerns around hotel costs they face as a result of university Covid-19 readiness plans.
