This is a policy adopted by many countries after the outbreak of the epidemic, either closing schools, postponing the start of classes or directly implementing online teaching. Therefore, many international students have been affected by this regulation to a certain extent. Not only have schools been closed, but even IELTS and TOEFL exams have been cancelled, which directly cut off the way for international students to study abroad. Moreover, in order to prevent cross-border exchanges, many countries have imposed restrictions on entry, which has further aggravated the difficulties for international students to study.
You should know that time is money for students, especially international students. Every passing day means a lot of money is lost, because the tuition fees of international students are very expensive, and their purpose is only to receive a better education. As a result, many international students have no hope of studying abroad under the epidemic situation.
But also has a very serious impact on those international students who stay abroad. They may be able to go to school according to local regulations, but many of them usually rely on part-time research assistants to get financial support, and this epidemic directly cut off their part-time jobs, which greatly reduced their income. In this special period, whether international students can study in a balanced way, the relationship between school and family work has become a key factor.
Those students who have no money to study abroad, or those who have plans to study abroad, have to temporarily suspend their study abroad plans because of this epidemic. Their enthusiasm for preparation may be extinguished, and the epidemic has caused a sharp drop in jobs. During this period, they can't work to make money, so the study and career planning of many international students have been greatly affected.
Moreover, even if schools start school on time and implement online teaching, it will still have an irreparable impact on learning efficiency. Because many people are more accustomed to the traditional face-to-face teaching, and online teaching will naturally lead to teachers not taking care of individual students, and students will have doubts and can't ask for leave from teachers immediately. In addition, different schools have different arrangements for course exams, which makes students more unable to cope with the exams.
