VIRTUAL EVENT: The impact of COVID-19 on international higher education and student mobility

The world is facing an unprecedented health crisis with the spread of COVID-19 across different corners of the globe. The pandemic raises issues about the future of international higher education. 

While the pandemic has significantly decreased international student mobility, it is also shifting the mobility flow of international students, and East Asian countries and regions are facing more opportunities in the increasingly competitive higher education sector for international students. 

This webinar will explore a study which examined Mainland China and Hong Kong students’ studying abroad expectations after the pandemic. 

Will the pandemic intensify social and economic inequalities across higher education when some countries fail to maintain the scale of international learning?
