The education income raised from Chinese students studying in Australia has increased steadily over the past six years and was valued at around 12 billion Australian dollars in financial year 2019. China remains the largest contributor to Australia's international education export industry despite the restrictions on global travel due to the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) in 2020.
Chinese education export crucial to the Australian economy
The education sector was one of the first Australian industries to feel the effects of the novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in China in late 2019. From early February, 2020, shortly before the Australian school and university year was to begin, the Australian government placed a travel ban on travelers from China. This travel ban meant that many Chinese students were unable to be in the country to start their studies at schools, universities, and vocational colleges in Australia. Furthermore, internet censorship policies in China made it difficult for universities to stream lectures and offer online courses for students in China.
