International Education | Public Institutions

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

In 2018, the international education sector contributed more than $5.87 billion to the local economy. It is Australia's third largest export sector, accounting for more than $34 billion in exports in 2018, trailing only coal, iron ore, and natural gas.
Business Opportunities:
An important part of the sector is the wide variety of local businesses that provide services and potential employment to students from abroad, for example:
accommodation providers hosting international students
employers hiring students, during or at the end of their studies
tourism businesses catering to students and their visiting families.
