Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has destabilised higher education systems globally, nationally and locally. At present, while long-term ramifications of this emergency are unclear, early and ongoing responses have sought to avert COVID-induced institutional collapse.

Higher education systems are seeking to return to business-as-usual, while developing disruption-resilient responses by embracing rapid decision-making, technology-enabled learning, and flexible student admissions. At the same time, they are reimagining internationalization. This chapter provides a diagnostic lens through which to view how higher education systems and institutions have responded to the COVID-19 pandemic in industrialised (Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and developing (Chile, India and South Africa) economies.

The study also examines how higher education stakeholders might better prepare for future crisis situations. In particular, a range of diagnostic indicators is proposed and evidenced to highlight how stakeholders might monitor institutional and sector-wide vulnerabilities and gaps in coverage at pre-crisis and post-crisis stages. The analysis closes with a presentation and discussion of indicators spanning system geopolitics and jurisdictions, system regulation, teaching and learning, research, pathways, governance and leadership, infrastructure, human resources and financing.
