Universities are being urged to help returning foreign students pay for their two week stint in isolation hotels.

In a first small step towards re-opening the border to the lucrative industry, 250 Masters or PhD students will be allowed into the country from next month.

The education sector is delighted but questions are now being raised about whether the students will be put off by the cost of managed isolation.
