Right or privilege? Digital inequalities, the pandemic, and the challenges of a public school

ABSTRACT:

The text is divided into two parts: in the first part, the transfer of face-to-face education to remote education was discussed, focusing on digital inequalities, social privileges, and the right to education; in the second part, the case of the Application School of FEUSP, in São Paulo (SP), was analyzed based on the experiences and challenges faced in the transfer to remote education.
