Abstract
The economies of many countries were affected by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020-2021. International, industrial, cultural and social ties between countries and people have collapsed. The weaker the economy was before the virus, the more severe the consequences for the state. The forces of the world community were thrown into the fight against a common problem. It was necessary to urgently build new hospital complexes, provide medical personnel with personal protective equipment that had no analogues before, and develop new vac cines to fight the virus. Many enterprises were on the verge of bankruptcy or were forced to close. Industries such as tourism, education, services, trade, catering and others have been hit hard. States provided all kinds of support to individuals and legal entities. There was direct financial assistance to people and indirect support for small and medium-sized businesses. One of the sectors most affected was the education sector. The level of knowledge and competencies of students has declined significantly, and it will take a lot of investment to restore what has been lost. The problem of distance education has shown that in Kazakhstan there is still no possibility of a full -fledged replacement for standard forms of education. It is necessary at the state level to develop new ways and methods of teaching that would improve the quality of teaching and monitoring progress. This will require additional investment in science and education, but will allow Kazakh graduates to compete in the international labor market.
