As featured on the MSM Reporter, testing organizations have canceled standardized tests like IELTS and TOEFL in several countries.
This affects the applications of thousands of students who must show proof of English proficiency to their target universities.
Further, the economic consequences of the pandemic also take their toll on international students, who rely on scholarships, grants, and part-time jobs to sustain their education.
With organizations rerouting funds for healthcare, and campuses and other establishments closed, international students may find it extremely hard to scrounge enough money to pay their tuition for the upcoming term.

In most, if not all, ventures, expansion has always been a driving force for growth.
Members of the education industry are not exempted.
However, it is up to the esteemed leaders of an institution, despite the need to reach out to more students, to continue holding the school to the highest standards of quality education and uncompromising ethics.As internationalization in education has gained popularity in the last three decades, it could be seen as the inevitable reaction of a world that has become much smaller, thanks to innovations in technology and transportation.

In 2018, these students contributed around US$14.9 billion to the US economy Other countries are also feeling the impact of COVID-19.
New Zealand, where Chinese students make up 45 percent of international students, can lose more than $100 million from their own travel ban.All three of these countries have experienced severe budget cuts in the higher education sector, thusmaking universities reliant on tuition paid by foreign students.
COVID-19 travel restrictions have left them financially vulnerable and incited questions on emergency preparedness and management.
Aside from paying higher tuition, international students also contribute to the local economy through spending on food, clothing, services, and other businesses in the community.

However, due to this mass transition to distance learning, companies have begun offering free use of their database for a limited time, including e-textbooks and courseware that students can access at home.
Several organizations continue to update masterposts that instruct students on how to keep safe and continue studying.
In particular, students who opt to continue studying abroad are given some dos and don’ts as they pursue education in a foreign country.
This poses a major problem for schools as some, including Ivy League schools, have already decided that select programs will be held entirely online in the following fall semester.
The institutions have also found themselves scrambling for time to adjust their curriculum.
This is due to the fact they only have nine days to inform ICE if their semester will be entirely online.Not only is this bad for international students, but it will also be harmful to US businesses across all industries.
