Case study

Economic Impact of Covid-19 on the ELICOS Sector in Australia

YEAR

2020 & 2021

CLIENT

English Australia

OVERVIEW

This study quantified the Covid-19 pandemic’s direct and future impacts on the international education export industry in Australia, covering all ELICOS students regardless of visa type.

The client opted for a broader economic impact calculation to factor in the knock-on effect on students for whom ELICOS is a gateway to continued academic studies in Australia.

The results showed that the immediate losses will extend into other areas of Australia’s international education industry, including higher education and VET.

Thanks to our long-term industry experience, market knowledge and intelligence, and professional and results-driven staff, we are more time- and cost-efficient than our clients could be.
