Abstract

According to a UNESCO report, the main factor in the disruption of the education system in the 21st century was the quarantine measures of the COVID-19 pandemic, which directly affected the education of more than 220 million students in the world (UNESCO, 2021). Thus, the purpose of the study is to assess the level of education of the graduates of higher education in Great Britain from May - November 2021 during quarantine measures. The achievement of the set goal was implemented through a survey of 1157 students from various higher education institutions in Great Britain, which was conducted in May and November 2021. This made it possible to identify certain regularities and trends in the adaptation of the English system of higher education to new conditions of the study. Thus, self-study and distance learning under the supervision of teachers became the determining method of education, which in percentage terms reached 55%, and at the same time, the level of group work in studying previously presented lecture material decreased by 36% (from 76% to 40%) due to technical difficulties and physical stay students in different parts of the country. However, the overwhelming majority of students remained motivated to study and showed adaptation to the new online educational environment. Overall, the study highlights the importance of developing and supporting distance learning in the future, which can become an additional tool to ensure access to education worldwide.
