Studying Abroad in the COVID-19 Era: Challenges and Countermeasure

Abstract

The COVID-19 outbreak has not only brought tremendous challenges but also significantly influenced all aspects of society. Because of its influence, it is essential to reconsider the educational advantages of studying in another country. The study covered education abroad, which has taken on a new form in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak due to prior research. Additionally, several contemporary concerns have surfaced as a result of this paper. To begin, the change in pedagogical approaches has brought about a decline in the overall quality of the educational system. The third issue is that recurring tuition costs are assessed, and the second is that the school day has been shortened, leading to questions about students' academic credentials. To solve these problems, four different strategies can be implemented: improving teaching methods and elevating educational standards; preserving the legal and educational system and ensuring academic standards; standardizing tuition fees and eliminating the practice of selling academic credentials; and, lastly, combating opportunism and eliminating the environment of studying abroad.
