Educación virtual y el ejercicio del derecho a la educación de los estudiantes de educación básica

Abstract

This monographic work is situated in the field of Basic Education, in the area of Public Policy. In times of health emergency, as a consequence of the COVID 19, at world level, the authorities decided that the exercise of education should be under virtual modality. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of virtual education on the exercise of the right to education. This monograph is structured in three chapters in which the problem generated in Ecuador and in other Latin American countries is approached in a theoretical way. Its development motivated a bibliographic-descriptive research, which made it possible to review different sources, compile information on the categories of the topic, in addition to synthesizing, reviewing and analyzing. From this, it became evident that in Ecuador and in other Latin American countries, the exercise of the right to education, in times of health emergency, was developed in a first instance, virtually, and this was conditioned by different factors, among which poverty and the weak educational public policy implemented stand out, which limited the full exercise of the right to education of many children and adolescents.
