The article is devoted to the analysis of the key challenges faced by Russian higher education during the pandemic and the prospects for its further development. The article highlights the key problems of higher education that have arisen in connection with the pandemic situation (reduced academic mobility, weakened partnerships, inability to complete research on time, reduced number of applicants, suspension of educational activities), examines the actions of governments and measures taken by universities to adapt to work in the context of the pandemic (development of appropriate legislation, provision of consulting and financial assistance, measures to support foreign students who found themselves in the country during the pandemic, etc.). Hypotheses are put forward regarding the ways of transformation of university education in the "post-covid" period, possible trends are proposed, including digitalization, changes in the content of the educational process, scientific activity, increasing the social role and the "third mission" of universities. The problems of online education, the development of digital technologies and new forms of education by teachers and students, and the creation of a new system of social and educational work corresponding to new educational formats are considered. Conclusions are drawn that the Russian higher education system as a whole has managed to overcome the difficulties that have arisen. The situation of the pandemic, on the one hand, has accelerated a number of transformational processes that began in the higher education system before it, and on the other – has revealed new challenges, the solution of which is necessary for the effective functioning of universities in force majeure situations. We should not expect a complete return of universities to the "pre-covid" situation, since certain mechanisms have been launched to accelerate the modernization of domestic higher education.

The article is concerned with defining the international position of the higher education system (HES) of Ukraine in the European educational environment. It is proved that the current stage of development of the world higher education system is characterized by significant transformations that change the paradigm of the functioning of the traditional university to the paradigm of the formation of an innovative-active higher education institution (HEI) of the entrepreneurial type. The article is aimed at developing a methodical approach to determining the attractiveness of the national system of higher education in the European educational space, taking into account modern trends of transformation of universities into entrepreneurial business entities. The approach, which on the basis of search experiments allows to cluster Ukraine and 27 European countries and determine not only the overall level of attractiveness for the period 2013–2017, but also (due to spatial clustering for 2013, 2015 and 2017) separately allocate the latent trends (both positive and negative) in the attractiveness levels of the analyzed countries, is proposed. The information space of grouping of countries is formed, which due to the combination of indicators (mental readiness of society to obtain higher education; financial readiness/government opportunity to support the development of the higher education system; readiness of universities as structural elements of the higher education system to provide high-quality educational and scientific services) allows to get a systematic idea of the phenomenon of attractiveness of the higher education system. The carried out computations showed that the national HES is losing its high international positions and requires deep systemic modernization in the direction of creating a stimulating basis for the development of autonomous, innovation-active HEIs of the entrepreneurial type.

PurposeThe purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and international student mobility from an alternative perspective and to reveal descriptive findings.Design/methodology/approachThis study follows qualitative research methodology. In accordance with the purpose of the study, the data were collected by the literature review and then it was analyzed by the descriptive analysis method. The effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on international student mobility and the relationships between these variables are explained by tables and classifications.FindingsAccording to the findings obtained, the restrictions in physical student mobility and shutdown are observed as the biggest challenges that occurred in higher education during the COVID-19. On a global scope, international student mobility has experienced a major break. Physical campus life is still on standby. Online higher education does not give any campus life as before. Students cannot benefit form city's or country's facilities when studying online at home country. The collaboration between university and business has been declined and this is even more discouraging for international students. The hybrid education model produced an intermediate solution in this period. On the other hand, the rise of online education has created new techniques for higher education. University students who cannot go abroad attend different countries lectures and education programs. But also a new challenge has come as the access of online platforms in under developing countries university students. Online education system also discussed in terms of creating inequality in higher education.Research limitations/implicationsThis study focused on student mobility and not focused about academic mobility.Practical implicationsIt is seen that the traditional higher education system has been adapted into online distance higher education system since COVID-19 crises began globally. On the other side, it is observed that most of studies have focused the effect of COVID-19 on university students based on the transition to online education. When considering the effect of pandemic process on the mobility of international students and higher education, the authors can suggest policy makers to develop new higher education protocols and teaching models supporting key issues (economic, social, health, education and equalization) in the long-term. Higher education institutes have been able to produce creative and innovative solutions for both education and communication during the pandemic process.Social implicationsUniversity students who cannot go abroad attend different countries lectures and education programs. But also a new challenge has come as the access of online platforms in under developing countries university students. Online education system also discussed in terms of creating inequality in higher education.Originality/valueThis study provides a new perspective for international student mobility in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. This is an emerging issue for the literature. This study is original with its approach to the subject from a global perspective through reviewing the studies of different countries. This study points out key variables for determining the effect of COVID-19 on international student mobility for future studies. When employing quantitative research models, the current key variables can guide them.

Due to the closure of most of the educational institutions, the conventional education system has been severely damaged. However, this COVID-19 pandemic situation has paved the way for e-learning and made it more popular. E-learning is a general term used to refer to a type of learning where the instructor and the student are separated by space or time where the gap between the two is bridged through the use of online technologies. But the striking question is, has online education strengthened the digital divide? Digital divide addresses the gap between those who have access to the information technology, and those who do not. Technological advancement or use of ICT in educational environment may create the gaps or divides known as digital divides. This paper focuses on the two major themes, that is, the concept of e-learning or online learning and the concept of digital divide and second one is, whether e-learning is strengthened or narrowing this digital divide. This paper also tries to identify the major causes for digital divide in educational environment and tries to suggest some possible solutions to overcome this situation.

After first surveying the development of academic studies of Islam within the modern Turkish higher education system, this essay provides an inventory of material that has been translated from Western languages into Turkish. It is inevitable that orientalist studies will have a place of tremendous importance in this analysis. However, approaches to the Qur'an and its exegesis which have been developed under the influence of the Western scientific and cultural world encompass a larger range of literature that includes not only the orientalist studies themselves but also the criticisms directed against these studies. Particular attention is paid to the work of Fazlur Rahman and Arab scholars influenced by Western methods, and an assessment of the various issues related to the critique of orientalist works is provided.
