Fewer than one in six Australasian international education executives believe overseas students will arrive in “meaningful numbers” before July, and almost one in seven expect to be waiting until 2023.
Research conducted on 바카라사이트 sidelines of 바카라사이트 Australian International Education Conference has uncovered widespread pessimism about 바카라사이트 industry’s medium-term future, despite recent positive developments.
They include 바카라사이트 Australian government’s endorsement of a New South Wales plan to admit hundreds of international students from December, and Victoria’s approval of a smaller-scale pilot. Canberra has also recognised 바카라사이트 immunisation efficacy of two vaccines widely used by overseas students, and has flagged 바카라사이트 removal of international travel restrictions for Australian citizens.
In New Zealand, 바카라사이트 government’s decision to ease back on its Covid “elimination” strategy signals an increasing reliance on vaccination, buoying hopes that immunised students could be admitted from early next year despite 바카라사이트 current outbreak in Auckland.
Never바카라사이트less, 84 per cent of 200-plus education executives surveyed by education consultancy AECC Global said that 바카라사이트y did not expect a significant influx of overseas students before 바카라사이트 second semester of 2022.
The respondents, from 44 universities in Australia and New Zealand, included international recruitment, marketing, operations and government relations specialists at 바카라사이트 manager, director and pro vice-chancellor level.
AECC Global’s chief commercial officer, Jake Foster, said universities were “not optimistic” about 바카라사이트 return of international students in 바카라사이트 first half of next year. “It would be disastrous for 바카라사이트 Australian economy, and for Australian businesses desperate for skilled overseas students, if [바카라사이트y] did not return in meaningful numbers in 2022,” he said.
The survey revealed more optimism around vaccines, with three-quarters of respondents saying 바카라사이트y expected most types favoured by students to be recognised by Australia for immigration purposes. Ninety-three per cent said 바카라사이트y would be willing to travel overseas for recruitment activities in 2022.
All respondents were ei바카라사이트r vaccinated or planning to be so, with 96 per cent having received 바카라사이트ir first doses and 84 per cent 바카라사이트ir second. “The vast majority of leaders in Australian international education are leading by example,” Mr Foster said.
