MOE issues first warning statement in 2020 for students preparing to study abroad

Major higher education institutions in Australia have planned to resume face-to-face classes in around July. Given the continuing spread of COVID-19 across the globe, international travel and the reopening of schools carry risks. After a spate of racially motivated incidents targeting Asians in Australia, the MOE has urged Chinese students planning to study overseas to evaluate the risks involved and exercise caution if choosing to go to or return to Australian schools.
