Take a chance and allow foreign students in

THE education landscape for international students has not been spared by the Covid-19 pandemic, with countries such as Australia, Britain, New Zealand and the United States, normally favoured destinations, suddenly seeing declining numbers.

Malaysia is more fortunate, as the infection rate here is under control due to measures taken by the authorities. Our country is still attracting thousands of foreign students although our borders have yet to reopen, as reported in “Foreign students eager to study here” (The Star, Aug 28).
