Komparativni osvrt na visoko obrazovanje tokom pandemije kovid-19

Abstract

The 2020 crisis caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic brought the current and emerging weaknesses of the education system in both developed countries and countries in transition to the surface. This paper focuses on a comparative overview of the sector of higher education, especially in terms of the possibilities for achieving equality of educational opportunity, mobility, quality of scientific research, and education quality in general. We conducted an analysis of available theoretical papers, empirical studies, and reports that focus on the impact of the pandemic on institutions of higher education, the process itself, and the results of online teaching/learning, research and internationalization of education. The results of the analysis indicate differentiated responses of institutions of higher education to the new situation and the changed social context with regard to all observed aspects. Previous studies and analyses should indicate directions for post-pandemic reactions of institutions of higher education, so they could adequately and flexibly respond to global crises and changes in the future.
