Education Minister Dan Tehan has vowed to work with the education sector as he concedes if there is not a breakthrough with the coronavirus the economic impact on Australia will be “significant”.

An estimated 56 per cent of Chinese international students remain outside of Australia, forced to miss out on the first weeks of the semester after the government issued a ban on travel from individuals from mainland China in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

Mr Tehan said he hoped for “some sort of breakthrough” in the coming weeks, telling Sky News the next two to three weeks will be “absolutely crucial”. “My hope is we will see some sort of breakthrough and we will be able to get students here before the end of the first semester,” the education minister said.
