Abstract

Some Australian private schools have reported lower interest from prospective parents due to the financial pressures of COVID-19. A number of Victorian school principals have also called on the state government to re-open borders to international students. They say there’s a possibility schools may be forced to close, due to severe financial distress from the non-return of students.
