The ߣߣ��Ƶn government has approved a plan to let 160 international students back into the state of South ߣߣ��Ƶ, in a small but hopeful step forward towards a larger return plan in the future.

Following on from a pilot scheme in November 2020, which brought 63 students back to Charles Darwin University, South ߣߣ��Ƶ’s approved plan will be the first time a group of international students has been granted entry to the country this year.

The scheme will run separately from current arrival caps determined by the ߣߣ��Ƶn government. Institutions and students will bear the costs of travel and a two-week quarantine, which is expected to take place at an airfield in Adelaide.

It is estimated that more than 100,000 international students enrolled in ߣߣ��Ƶn universities have been studying remotely in their home countries because of ߣߣ��Ƶ’s strict Covid-19 border controls.

Universities ߣߣ��Ƶ chief executive Catriona Jackson congratulated South ߣߣ��Ƶ on the news, saying that “it demonstrates what is possible when health authorities, government, industry and our universities cooperate in achieving the safe return of students from low-risk nations”.

“We hope to see more states and territories go down the same path as South ߣߣ��Ƶ in the near future,” she continued.

Although no formal long-term plan has been announced yet, it is a step in the right direction for international students enrolled across ߣߣ��Ƶ’s universities.

We are delighted to share that South ߣߣ��Ƶ’s International Student Arrival Plan has been approved by the federal government.
