In relation to the problematic reality at the global level, educational institutions play an

important role in promoting regional development, since they are institutions that are

very close to the population and therefore know their main problems and needs

(Benítez et al., 2020). In order to help the inhabitants of their jurisdictions, a significant

amount of money is allocated to them but for various reasons and management

problems it is not invested in meeting the immediate requirements of the

community(Suárez, Chéné, & Jiménez, 2016).

The presence of the Internet is increasingly evident in social relations, economic

transactions and production processes in Ecuador (Joslin, 2020). The growing activity

to the Internet has been relatively overtaken in developed countries(Suárez et al.,

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the closure of educational institutions around the

world, severely disrupting the teaching and learning process for millions of children,

youth and their families. With the pandemic slowing, governments are now developing

the next steps in their strategy to deal with a crisis of unprecedented scope (Rivera-

Vargas & Romani, 2020). In many countries, this involves planning for the safe

reopening of schools, colleges and universities, which has taken various forms. Some

countries, such as France or Germany, have already welcomed students back, while

others, such as Spain or Italy, will keep school doors closed until September(Erokhin

One of the government's proposals is Learning Together at Home", and with it

confirmed the decision to continue the educational processes through the non-face-to-

face modality (teleducation)(Corral & Gatti, 2020).

The training of most public teachers still lacks sufficient information on how these

processes are being developed at different school levels. However, the errors of the

educational process, among many others"; are the subject of multiple debates in the

current situation due to the closure of educational institutions (Ch, Batool, & Bashir,

2020).

A new disadvantage for students from the lower, lower-middle and middle strata, given

their limitations to the continuity of their education through the non-face-to-face

modality. This toolkit provides education system leaders with an application framework

and questions to consider in developing their educational responses to the COVID-19

crisis (Bragazzi et al., 2020).

It is based on an analysis of educational policy measures taken during the initial stages

of the COVID-19 crisis. What dimensions should be considered for the implementation

of educational responses to the COVID-19 crisis? Lessons learned show that

McAleer, 2020). Stakeholder involvement in the development of a broadly supported

overall solution may need to be limited initially to key players and integrated at later

stages, as there is an optimal balance between participation and reactivity(Nicolalde,

However, in the "country 9 out of 10 households do have a television or cell phone,

which is an alternative to reach children through these media" (Molina-Ríos & Pedreira-

these mechanisms and other tools can be used to ensure that children continue

learning in this context (Rodenbiker, 2020).

specific hypotheses or ideas". The second consists, according to the same author, "in

the use and calculation of particular facts that must culminate in global conclusions."

Indeed, the research starts from the general description of the problem, starting from

the state of the art, converging towards the global and specific theories on the

sustainability and comparability of information with the ENEMDU, which was previously

used as a source of ICT indicators (Ministry of Telecommunications and Information

Society, 2019).

The implementation of the Multipurpose Survey had the technical support of the

Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the National

Institute of Statistics and Geography of Mexico (INEGI)2 for the sample design of the

survey and the construction of collection instruments, respectively (Alcázar Ponce,

Subsequently, the analysis of the primary base was carried out in Excel in the SPSS

V24 statistical program, with the purpose of observing the distribution of the data in

relation to the frequencies of the categorical variable, as well as the mean, as a

measure of central tendency and standard deviation, as a measure of dispersion, of

the continuous numerical variable.

The variables will be plotted as follows: for categorical variables a bar chart or pie chart

will be used and for numerical variables a histogram will be used.

there was a significant increase of 9.54 and 5.56 p.p., respectively.

Table 4 shows the changes in the percentage of people using computers, by area,

To present the main theoretical and empirical background underpinning this special

issue, we have proposed and developed three main questions that provide a

framework for the current context in which digital technology inclusion initiatives are

designed and implemented in educational contexts(Lallie et al., 2020).

To understand from an analytical perspective the different types of educational and
