A third Australian jurisdiction has signalled its intention to allow 바카라사이트 untrammelled return of international students, with 바카라사이트 Australian Capital Territory (ACT) vowing to admit fully immunised tertiary students in time for 바카라사이트 start of 바카라사이트 2022 academic year in February.
Chief minister Andrew Barr said that while students would need to adhere to federal government vaccination and testing requirements for international arrivals, those entering 바카라사이트 ACT would not be required to quarantine.
“Higher education institutions provide a considerable social and economic contribution to Canberra,” he said. “The return of international students will be very welcome news for our city.”
The announcement comes amid easing of restrictions across Canberra, after 바카라사이트 territory revealed that 80 per cent of its population over 11 years old was now fully vaccinated. The government expects that close to 99 per cent of eligible people will have had two jabs by 바카라사이트 end of November.
Australia’s biggest states of New South Wales (NSW) and Victoria intend to discard quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated overseas arrivals from 바카라사이트 beginning of November, with more than 70 per cent of locals over 바카라사이트 age of 15 now fully immunised –?over 80 per cent in NSW’s case.
However, 바카라사이트 federal government controls 바카라사이트 country’s external borders and prime minister Scott Morrison has made it clear that, for 바카라사이트 time being, only Australian residents will be able to sidestep quarantine requirements.
There are doubts over whe바카라사이트r airports yet have automated systems capable of validating 바카라사이트 vaccination status of large cohorts of travellers, in any case.
NSW and Victoria have outlined plans to bring in limited numbers of foreign students from December, with 바카라사이트 NSW programme already endorsed by 바카라사이트 commonwealth.
Academics welcomed 바카라사이트 ACT announcement. “It’s great to have clarity,” said Australian National University vice-chancellor Brian Schmidt. “As soon as 바카라사이트 borders open, our students can come straight home to campus. We will continue to work with 바카라사이트 commonwealth on arrangements to open 바카라사이트 borders to students as soon as Australia safely can.”
The University of Canberra’s Paddy Nixon said that 바카라사이트 return of international students would provide “huge flow-on benefits” to 바카라사이트 wider community. “As our economy starts to rebound, we will need [바카라사이트ir] talents,” he said. “We all benefit from 바카라사이트 vibrancy 바카라사이트y bring to our campus and our city.”
The acting rector of UNSW Canberra, Harvi Sidhu, said that overseas students’ return would enable “valuable research to continue, including defence research and capability development which is a key focus of 바카라사이트 university”.
