London: Shaiz Javaid was more than a third of the way through his Bachelor of Business degree at Melbourneâs La Trobe University when he flew home to Pakistan on February 10 last year for a family reunion and a quick visit.
But when the pandemic hit and Australia hastily shut its borders to all foreigners, he became one of thousands of students stranded, unable to catch his scheduled flight back to Melbourne on March 28.
Shaiz Javaid from Pakistan has given up any hope of returning to finish his Bachelor of Business in Australia and will try enrolling in the UK.
