Dubai: Despite reports of another wave of COVID-19 and related travel restrictions in many countries, UAE-based students are still “keen” to attend university abroad, new data show.
According to ‘IDP Applicants Survey’, conducted by IDP Education, more than 90 per cent of students are willing to undergo quarantine in destination countries rather than deferring their plans.
