ABSTRACT
The paper explores the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on educational migration. It emphasizes that the crisis has mostly affected education as well as all areas of the world community. The paper focuses on the situation of young people wishing to get an education abroad with the prospect of staying in the chosen country for permanent residence. Therefore, it is no coincidence that we have chosen such countries as China and India for the primary analysis, in which there are many young people in general and those who strive to get an education and gain permanent residence abroad in particular. The research issues are solved using dialectical, systemic, comparative, and statistical methods. In addition, we use the results of sociological research. This paper contributes to the development of a new urgent issue of the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the world community, primarily on its educational area in young people migration. The paper is conceived within the scientific project framework by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan, "Educational Migration from Kazakhstan: Factors, Trends, and Social-Political Consequences.” © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
