Australia Hasn't Allowed Sinovac and Sinopharm Vaccines, The Fate of Foreign Students? In December 2021, Australia will start opening its doors to foreign students. The cost of quarantine will also be borne by the government. This applies to students studying in New South Wales (NSW). The problem is, students who use the Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines have not received certainty, because the two vaccines made in China have not received recognition from Australia. Based on the Australian ABC report, Monday (27/9/2021), the program is only for international students who meet the requirements, which have been vaccinated twice with vaccines recognized by Australia, namely Pfizer, Johnson and Johnson, Moderna and AstraZeneca. This also has the potential to have an impact on students from China to Indonesia. Early December, as many as 500 students from around the world will be allowed to travel to Australia on two chartered flights. The Chancellor of Western Sydney University, Barney Glover said the airfare would be paid for by the students themselves, while the quarantine fees would be borne by the university. "This is the start of a pilot that may sound trivial, but is an important signal that Australia is opening up to international students again," said Barney, who also chairs the committee on the pilot programme. But the chancellor of Westeren Sydney University said he had encouraged ATAGI (Australia's vaccination advisory agency) and TGA (therapeutic goods administration agency) to move quickly to address the issue of vaccines that have not yet been approved. "We encourage them to work through reciprocal vaccination arrangements for vaccines that are not yet approved in Australia, so that we can open up more widely with other countries," said Professor Barney. approved beforehand. Government Determination Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, John Barilaro, said that bringing in foreign students who had been unable to return was the first stage of the pilot program. Later it will be developed slowly. International students who are brought in will also not be counted or included in the limit on the number of citizens who may return to Australia. "Importantly, this plan will not be at the expense of any Australian citizen or resident wishing to return home," John said. Executive Director of the organization Universities Australia, Catriona Jackson praised the NSW government for being "very determined" to get Australia to bring back international students. "International students make a lot of investment in Australia and it would be great to see them return to Australia under safe procedures in a strong quarantine system." Belle Lim, an international student from Malaysia and president of the Council of International Students Australia, said students who had been asked to return to their home countries were now happy to be back in Australia. Belle rumus menghitung angka togel sgp said many international students have had their lives disrupted, including due to time differences in college, lack of social relationships with other students, although they can still study online. "Our lives being disrupted by not being able to make plans . . . are very difficult for students," said Belle. "International students pay exorbitant tuition fees to study in Australia, but not being able to have the experience of studying there, is a huge financial and mental stress. Because the new decision was welcomed by students." Prior to the pandemic, around 250,000 international students were studying in NSW, making the education sector the state's second largest export. The NSW state government says there are 57,000 international students currently trying to enter NSW.
