Abstract

The current COVID-19 epidemic has had an influence on international education and cultural communications, as well as the emergence of anti-internationalization in higher education. Due to the lock-down policies with some considered safety reasons, the mobility of people for the internationalization of higher education has been reduced and some new online teaching approaches have emerged. This study revealed that the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic on the internationalization of education have had more negative than beneficial effects, particularly on students and economics. Some campuses and national systems that depend on international student enrollments for income (e.g., tourism) are to be severely harmed. Also, this study found that despite online teaching having some negative effects on students’ learning experiences, online education has expanded options for people to transfer knowledge to a larger audience. In addition, this study emphasized a greater focus on more innovative research into the internationalization of higher education, as well as some deeper connections and collaborations between various countries and regions in the future.
