澳洲允許目前疫情下對留學生線上教學,並繼續審理留學生簽證
澳洲聯邦高等教育監管機構TEQSA首席執行官Anthony McClarn TEQSA在當地的時間1月31日下午4時35分,就目前面臨的新冠病毒疫情發表公告。TEQSA理解目前新冠疫情可能使《2018國家規定》的相關標準難以得到全面滿足。高等教育提供者如果從學生利益最大化出發而決定在2020年的第一學期採用全部線上或遠程教學,超過了規定的三分之一線上或遠程教學量,TEQSA將不會對此進行合規追責。同時TEQSA要求對此保持準確和全面的文件記錄,並要求在《2018國家規定》6.3, 6.4和8.22標準要求下保持對提供學生實施線上或遠程學習的支持責任。(見TEQSA公告英文原文)

筆者就此公告採訪了澳洲成峯高教(01752.HK)的發言人,發言人指出,“發揮線上優勢、打造安全留學“是我們應對疫情的主要措施之一。TEQSA的最新公告,為這一措施構建了堅實的合規平台,符合赴澳中國留學生防疫不誤學習的利益。同時,學校在疫情防範和學生管理上已經做了大量的準備工作,全校師生都有信心能順利開展新學期的工作和學習。
筆者隨後問到針對目前澳大利亞政府全面禁止來自中國的旅客,是否會大面積的影響到中國留學生?發言人表示:1目前這個規定只適用兩週,兩週後的具體情況由澳洲政府進一步宣佈2,學校的線上平台已經全部就緒,無論學生是否入境都不會對學習造成影響;3目前澳洲政府特別聲明並沒有停止對學生簽證的審理,相信目前的旅行禁令只是暫時的。
