A study tour of 12 officials of Education Ministry and University Grants Commission (UGC) to Australia has been halted.
The ministry came up with the order on Monday.
Earlier on May 11, a circular was issued by the finance ministry restricting all foreign trips in a bid to save forex reserves.
According to the UGC, 11 UGC officials, including its secretary and two members, and the secondary and higher education division secretary’s assistant secretary were supposed to leave for Australia on May 28 for visiting different universities there.
