Abstract
Due to the health emergency caused by COVID-19, countries were forced to suspend presencials school activities. In this context, in order to safeguard the health of students and guarantee the continuity of education, the Ministry of Education in Ecuador ordered from March 16, 2020, to continue the educational process at the national level through the use of telematics resources. However, experience shows that such a decision has once again marked the social inequalities that exist between different sectors of the population. Teleducation has exposed educational gaps among students. The shift from presenciality to virtuality of education has affected, to a greater extent, students from the most disadvantaged socioeconomic strata, students of public education, even more so, those who reside in rural areas, and even Furthermore, students with parents with low levels of instruction. This work argues that in the current situation, teleducation, regardless of its virtues and support for education, exacerbates the educational inequalities of the students.
