Safe way back for international students

Independent Higher Education Australia proposes a “COVIDSafe Corridor,” with pilots late this year and “full resumption” next

The proposal is big on caution, emphasising quarantines, testing and safety on campus. IHEAA also argues non-university providers are well-placed to pilot access, with small classes and flexible timetables, including late year admission dates.

And there’s a big condition on the corridor, which could make it politically palatable; “safe campus operations and face-to-face teaching arrangements having commenced for domestic students and onshore international students.”
