The Impact of COVID-19 on Higher Education around the World: IAU Survey Report
The current COVID-19 pandemic has led to an unprecedented health and socio-economic crisis which will mark our times for long and that has severely impacted the entire higher education sector around the world. In response to this global crisis, IAU has undertaken various initiatives to support and inform its Members and the higher education community at large. Amongst those, IAU conducted a study on the immediate and potential long-term impact and consequences of COVID-19 on higher education worldwide. An online survey was conducted from 25 March to 17 April 2020 and collected replies from 424 higher education institutions in 111 countries and territories.
Almost all responding HEIs declared that they have been impacted one way or another by the COVID-19 crisis. The report presents a general assesment of the situation in universities globally and explores different aspects of the impact of COVID-19, such as: teaching & learning, research, community engagement and other key challenges and opportunities. The results of the survey were analysed at regional (Africa, Americas, Asia & Pacific, Europe) and global level.

COVID-19’s immense impact on equity in tertiary education
|
| |
"The crisis triggered by COVID-19 and likely exacerbated by a recession will undoubtedly stress the most vulnerable even more. Stakeholders who are in a position to prepare for the equity implications should begin now, identifying at-risk students and communities and engaging with them, to understand and respond with support that can help them continue their studies." - Discover this article by Nina Arnhold and Roberta Malee Bassett from the World Bank, an IAU partner.
