Abstract

Almost all countries responded to COVID-19 with the school lockdown which happened overnight. As the lockdown continued, some students' distress became more evident. To know how to deal with such cases in the future, the authors conducted qualitative research among second-year business students who finished their secondary education at the time of the first epidemic wave and came to university in the second epidemic wave. For some students, the transition from secondary to tertiary education is a severe challenge even without the lockdown; not all students responded to the lockdown similarly. Some of them found remote teaching even more interesting; they were more motivated and concentrated on schoolwork when they studied in a quiet, safe home environment. During the epidemic, students developed some new skills that they found valuable skills for them. They appreciate socialising in person but recognise that university studies must be updated to recent trends, more digitalized, and flexible.
