‘Forget Australia’: Britain snaps up stranded international students

Shaiz Javaid was more than a third of the way through his Bachelor of Business degree at Melbourne’s La Trobe University when he flew home to Pakistan on February 10 last year for a family reunion and a quick visit.to all foreigners, he became one of thousands of students stranded, unable to catch his scheduled flight back to Melbourne on March 28.

“I have been applying for exemptions to enter Australia as I have my car and my apartment and also personal belongings there. “Still they are turning their backs on international students. I never thought a developed nation like Australia would treat international students in this way – they have destroyed my future.”Shaiz is hardly alone in transferring to a British university as a result of feeling abandoned. Enrolments from foreign students from outside the European Union hit a record high this year, up 17 per cent to 85,610.

Former foreign minister and high commissioner to the UK Alexander Downer said King’s College in London, where he now works, had a 7 per cent increase in Chinese students enrolling last year.“Australia’s university sector is one of the important components of modern Australia and our place in the world - positioning us to be a place where people want to come and study particular from Asia.

latikambourke Now it is tough to wait for border to reopen. I am done, my patience already died, no hopes from fed.govt anymore. Learnt a great lesson in life that general public's rights can be snatched anytime untill any high power person speak!!! offshores_dreams_matter LetUsBackToAus

latikambourke There are many more students who are in depression just because they choose Australia for higher education. Please help us.

latikambourke If I were China, I would ban citizens from studying in Australia

latikambourke He can thank Labor State Premiers and the pro lockdown left and leftist media “keeping us safe” remember... stop voting left

latikambourke Ohh you poor self entitled flog

latikambourke There’s lots of Australian citizens who still can’t get back to Australia. I have friends in the US that still can’t get home.

latikambourke My son, here in AU says the majority of his Uni courses are online but he has friends from China who had much the same issue but managed to get back here to finish the course. Go figure

latikambourke Australia has every right to close its borders. And thank god we did otherwise this may have ended like India or Brazil or anther landlocked country. This is a health emergency. We haven’t even repatriated Australian citizens - who should have priority to entry.

latikambourke How can you outlaw Aussie’s returning home

latikambourke Australian gov didn’t destroy your studies covid did. Yes let’s bring you all back with the virus and close down business and put us all into lock down so you can study. DO IT ON LINE

latikambourke And this is why the Federal government’s quarantine fail and vaccination fail is a disaster. The education sector employs many people directly and indirectly. These jobs will be lost.

latikambourke How on earth does a 23 year old afford money like this? An apartment in Melbourne? There is no way Australia has destroyed his future if he’s got money like that.

latikambourke It's 3:38 in the night. But I do not sleep in tension, now I want to die. No one can help us. We paid so much fee. I thought that by studying, I will create a futures but the Australian Government ruined my future. plzz check this video they seen all messages but no reply.😭😭

latikambourke A frigging 'business degree' ? Why not just study online ?

UniLodge offers up student accommodation to quarantine international students | Sky News AustraliaUniLodge CEO Tomas Johnsson says student accommodation could function in a similar way to hotel quarantine if the organisation is selected to participate in New South wales’ efforts to bring over international students. \n\nThis comes after NSW Police and health officials signed off on a proposal which would see international students quarantine for two weeks at the cost of the university sector without the support of the Commonwealth. \n\n“The proposal is not ours specifically, it’s the NSW government’s, so they are the ones that are managing the process,” Mr Johnsson said. \n\n“If indeed we were to be part of it … we’d be very similar to the hotel quarantine program.\n\n“I think the difference between hotels in general and student accommodation is the fact that … we are used to having cohorts living in our buildings for a long period of time.\n\n“So we have pastoral care for example that is unique to our industry.\n\n“In our organisation, with UniLodge, we have dedicated health apps with geofencing around buildings, so we can have much tighter control of the cohorts in our buildings”. \n Can't the Universities get International Students to do online studies until the World gets on top of Covid,surely they can figure something out they are supposed to be intelligent people. 🤔
