Australia's education sector, which generated A$39 billion in export earnings before the pandemic, has strong ties to China, with roughly 150,000 nationals enrolled in Australian universities. Tens of thousands remain offshore after pandemic restrictions and strained diplomatic relations led many to return home.
"At present, the borders of major destinations for international study have reopened, and foreign colleges and universities have fully resumed offline teaching," it said in a statement. as both countries work to improve diplomatic relations after more than two years of Chinese trade sanctions that have frozen trade in barley, coal and wine and other goods and services.
