Contrarian Growth:Contingency and Continuity in International Educational Governance amid Global Public Health Crises in the United Kingdom
At a time of heightened uncertainty in the world and the emergence of major global public crises,it is becoming increasingly difficult to cope with them through empirical methods of"following precedents",and it is necessary to explore the methodology of the"wisdom"of responding to crises successfully.The growth of international students in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrates the resilience of the UK's international education system as a result of the British Ministry of Education's proactive response to a major global public crisis,and it is therefore necessary to analyze the reasons in depth,and to explore the value of its methodology in practical terms.Based on the strategic position of international education,the United Kingdom adopted a combination of"contingency"and"continuity"strategies.Policies were dynamically and rapidly adjusted based on the changing state of the COVID-19 epidemic,and long-standing international education strategies were not altered due to the sudden public crisis of the COVID-19 epidemic.This strategy has ensured that the international education policy has a certain degree of continuity and sufficient flexibility,and is the main reason for the UK's contrarian growth of international student enrollment during the COVID-19 epidemic.
