Vietnam ranks 4th in number of foreign students studying in Australia in 2020
(VOVWORLD) - By the end of 2020, Vietnam has 24,000 students enrolled at educational institutions in Australia, a decline of 2,000 students compared to 2019. But Vietnam finishes fourth among the leading five countries that have the most students in Australia, behind China, India, and Nepal, according to latest figures released by the Australian Department of Education.

Dang Thuy Chi, first secretary in charge of education at the Vietnam Embassy in Australia, said thousands of Vietnamese students, who have returned to Vietnam in 2020, are still continuing to study online and waiting for opportunities to return to Australia.
Although Australia has successfully contained the COVID-19 pandemic and launched an immunization campaign, the Australian Government has yet to decide when to reopen borders and welcome back international students.
