The share of Fairfield City's overseas-born population attending educational institutions reflects the age structure of the population, the year of migration and the reason for migration.

Some areas attract a lot of overseas students, and these areas could be expected to have very high rates of educational attendance, particularly for universities.

Please note: In many areas of Australia, at the 2021 Census, numbers of overseas-born university students declined substantially due to university face-to-face closures during the COVID pandemic. This may have changed since the Census, please use with caution.
