“…Abruptly, as mentioned before, all doubts and problems had to be left behind: there was a need to work on the "new normal", continuing teaching activities. The COVID-19 pandemic forced a change in the educational process resulting in a real psychological impact for both students [9,10] and teachers [11] who had to adapt more quickly to this type of education [12].…”

COVID-19 forced higher education institutions to reinvent themselves. The (usually) face-to-face education has swapped to distance contingency education. This change brought about numerous challenges that impose adjustments in several dimensions, such as pedagogical strategies and the dependence on teaching platforms and computer systems—and, above all, the new relationship between the various actors (students, teachers, and management staff). All the sudden changes, combined with uncertainty concerning what was happening, created several strategies and options. This paper has the main purpose of analyzing the scientific production on higher education of EU27 academic institutions during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in journals indexed in Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science and Elsevier’s Scopus. The sample is composed of 22 articles in total. The results show that the articles were published in 19 journals; their main focuses are Higher Education, COVID-19, and distance learning. In our database, we find several types of concerns, which shows that HEIs have a wide range of dimensions. We intend this article to be an instrument, not only to identify what was done in 2020, but to point out clues for the future.

“…Likewise, understanding the status of the value aspects of the educational environment of personality formation for cultural life-creating activities in the society (from schoolchildren and students to participants of various additional professional programs in the context of continuous learning) is put forward as a priority task within the trends of alternative educational systems as gamification, the paradox of mass individual education, digital footprint. In the meantime, the value component of the teacher's professional readiness is understood as an integrative personal new formation based on a deep and responsible understanding of the humanistic potential and the humanitarian component of education [14,15].…”

This paper links the relevance of the research on communicative strategy in the frameworks of current university education and national public school system as a whole to fill the gap within both scientific Scholarship and pragma studies that reflect on novelty and changes of conditions and tasks for the development language education in the polyphony of the cultural information and educational spaces as a dominant value of social life of man and the society. This manuscript presents for consideration and discussion some of the authors’ findings of personification of training and learning as a priority of recurrent education and of axiology that involve and constitute the comprehensive model of a) transformations of the requirements for language proficiency of an individual, b) changes of structural, functional and communicative approaches to teaching/training and learning goals, c) selection of knowledge content and methodology of programming and planning in terms of integration processes. In conclusion, the statement of development of functional literacy of a personality in the chaotic space of the multicultural world of global communication and pluralistic essence of the era of postmodernism is suggested as of prior significance.

“…The readiness of teachers to work from home and deal with technology, largely depended on intrinsic factors like self-motivation and external factors like support from schools to upgrade the teacher's knowledge base (Scherer, Howard, Tondeur and Siddiq, 2021). In many cases, it was the first time that the teachers had to transition from in person teaching to online teaching and therefore the entire pedagogy had to be redefined and learnt from scratch.…”

The Covid-19 pandemic had a profound consequence on the traditional system of schooling. It underwent a complete transformation because of forced isolation, social distancing and closure of all physical schools. The ecology that used to support the school, namely the government, the parents and the society underwent a tumultuous time, each facing their own set of challenges. The Government policies had to be geared to meet the requirements of the pandemic and they kept changing frequently, the parents faced the anxiety of economic crisis, pay cuts and poor cash flow; the society saw deaths in unprecedented numbers. When the eco-system that supported the school was jarred, it had its ripple effect on the education system as well. This essay is focused on the impact the pandemic had on the psychological and financial well-being of the teachers and how they coped up with the situation and showed resilience to meet the challenges of the given crisis. It has been analysed in three stages -initial, middle and end of a year of online education as experienced by schoolteachers and Principals. It also highlights the learning and way forward from here. It has some useful suggestions for the policy makers and the school management.
