黑料老司机 Chief Executive said:
鈥淲e congratulate South Australia on becoming the first state set to safely welcome back international students in 2021. This follows last November鈥檚 pilot when 63 students successfully returned to Charles Darwin University in the Northern Territory.鈥
鈥淚t demonstrates what is possible when health authorities, government, industry and our universities cooperate in achieving the safe return of students from low-risk nations 鈥 without taking spaces from Australians wanting to return from overseas.鈥
鈥淗istorically, international students have played a significant role in the cultural and economic life of South Australia.鈥
鈥淩ight now, there are more than 10,000 higher education students studying with South Australian institutions who are outside the country. We want to welcome them back as quickly as possible so they can join their Australian classmates on campus. 鈥
鈥淲e hope to see more states and territories go down the same path as South Australia in the near future.鈥
