Globalization or deglobalization of education? Lessons of the COVID times

Keywords: globalization, deglobalization, education, trends, COVID-19

Abstract

The process of all-pervasive integration, which binds the world socio-economic activity in recent years, has significantly slowed down due to a number of reasons. These include the aggravation of contradictions within the most developed centers of the economy and culture, constant economic upheavals in the form of economic crises as well as the Covid-19 pandemic. These reasons together have a significant impact on education around the world and lead to a deterioration in its quality through the loss of global cooperation in the exchange of personnel, ideas and results in scientific and educational fields. The purpose of the study is to designate the influence of deglobalization factors on the educational process in the context of crisis phenomena. The paper presents arguments in favor of strengthening deglobalization processes in most countries of the world. If we talk about learning, these processes are caused, first of all, by the deterioration of the economic situation of educational systems in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and the global turbulence that now leads to deterioration in the situation of all participants in the educational process, both in economic terms and in terms of opportunities to realize their educational and scientific potential. It is important to note that for the Ukrainian education system, the introduction of quarantine restrictions and general de-globalization processes led to a colossal outflow of foreign students and the loss of the remnants of the potential that the country's leading universities had. It can already be said now that the introduction of forced distance learning has led to deterioration in the quality of education and the devaluation of the national education system. The presence of digital tools and training tools still retains opportunities for cooperation in the face of quarantine and economic restrictions, but this resource also has limitations and requires constant improvement for effective interaction.
