Synopsis: In 2020, some international students were prevented from studying abroad due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and many of them chose to defer or complete their study online. According to Chenggang Zhou, the CEO of New Oriental Corporation, it is a regret for international students as first-hand experience is a vital part of international education. However, online study has brought more opportunities to working adults because now they are able to juggle work and study. Chenggang believes that the impact of Covid-19 on international education is transient and it is impossible to stop globalisation.
