Abstract

This article analyzes the impact that the covid-19 pandemic has had in Latin America until the first four months of 2021, in terms of economic factors, mainly, which has led to an exacerbation of poverty in the region, which also suffers from large educational arrears. In response, the use of technologies is suggested, even in depressed regions, which can give continuity to the study plans because they are less expensive than the infrastructure required for face-to-face teaching.
