Abstract

The Spanish Flu and COVID-19 pandemics caused both positive and negative impacts on higher education. They caused the closure of higher education campuses and difficulties in several aspects like the difficulty of learning, financial difficulty, and so on. However, higher education’s response brought positive impacts, such as the development of remote teaching and learning, and better future adaptability. The objective of this paper is to present the backgrounds of the Spanish Flu and COVID-19 pandemics and analyze how institutions reacted to them. It also investigates the influence of the Spanish Flu and COVID-19 on higher education and make comparisons between impacts on higher education. At last, it offers suggestions on how higher education institutions can more efficiently on facing future emergency situations like pandemics. Although the pandemic brought challenges, higher education is innovating and adapting from the pandemic to establish a more flexible and adaptable system to ensure students' and staff’s safety.
