Este artigo tem por objetivo trazer discussões referentes aos alunos de pós-graduação que enfrentaram o período pandêmico com seus percalços acadêmicos, além de tratar da trajetória desses discentes no período pós-pandemia. Com a chegada da pandemia, provocada pela Covid-19, as instituições de ensino superior precisaram adotar o distanciamento social na comunidade acadêmica, tendo em vista a preservação da saúde dos seus discentes, docentes e funcionários. Assim, o distanciamento social trouxe consigo as dificuldades impostas pela pandemia que agravou a situação dos estudantes de ensino superior, aumentando a evasão estudantil e contribuindo para a queda do número de estudantes cursando o ensino superior no Brasil. Esse cenário de incertezas e conflitos políticos trouxe ao campo da educação a evasão dos estudantes que não tiveram condições de continuar os seus estudos no ensino superior, principalmente por causa dos bloqueios de bolsas de estudo. A metodologia aplicada neste artigo foi a revisão bibliográfica, com a intenção de localizar pesquisas já realizadas sobre a permanência de estudantes na pós- graduação durante a pandemia e seus impactos posteriores. Conclui-se que, devido à pandemia, docentes e discentes precisaram mudar suas atividades acadêmicas, agravando-se problemas que já existiam, a exemplo da desigualdade social, principalmente entre os discentes das instituições de ensino superior (IES).

The Covid-19 pandemic has worsened the situation for higher education students, making it even more complicated, as issues involving student dropout have increased, thus contributing to the drop in students pursuing higher education in Brazil. This scenario of uncertainty and political conflicts brought to the field of education the dropouts of students who were unable to continue their studies in higher education, as blockages of student scholarships are a reality experienced by these students, who need the student scholarship and financial support. to continue their studies in places far from their regions of origin.
