EDUCATION AND DIGITAL INCLUSION IN THE PANDEMIC: AN EXPLORATORY REVIEW ON THE CHALLENGES OF THE BRAZILIAN CONTEXT

Abstract

We discuss digital inclusion and its challenges for the educational scenario in a pandemic society. We reflect on the existing problem that was exacerbated by the precariousness of education during the covid-19 pandemic. We are based on an exploratory study based on scientific articles located in the electronic library SciELO, Google Scholar, as well as demographic data from different institutions and Brazilian legislation. We believe that the challenges of digital inclusion are not limited to understanding and managing digital technologies, but also to the first access to these instruments and to the digital environment. Thus, in the Brazilian context, the digital inclusion gap is one of the problems of public education, contributing to the generation and deepening of social and educational inequalities.
