As online education is expected to be fast-tracked in
Vietnam in the context of COVID-19, the study and the
webinars have been highly valued by key Australian
stakeholders. The relatively limited digital capability
of Vietnamese education and training institutions is
opening up unprecedented opportunities for Australian
edtech providers to fill the gaps.

Working collaboratively and effectively
with education agents is crucial to Austrade’s success
in contributing to a sustainable international education
sector in a highly competitive international education
arena, especially in Vietnam.
Austrade has maintained our annual education agent briefings and a
bi-annual focus group roundtable with the top ten education agents to discuss
challenges faced by the sector.
At the focus group roundtable in February, education agents raised a
number of issues such as the growing competition from other study abroad
destinations, a need for new communication channels and digital promotion
of Australian education, and Australian education providers’ response to the
COVID-19 crisis. The group also brainstormed innovative ideas to raise the
profile of Australia as a preferred education destination.
