Abstract

With the closure of schools during the COVID-19 pandemic, the education available to students depended heavily on home and family conditions and structure. This paper analyses the relationship between access to technology, demographic characteristics, and learning opportunities during the pandemic in Brazil in 2020. It uses logistic and ordinary least squares linear regression models to generate information based on two national household surveys in Brazil. Both demographics and technology access are related to learning during the pandemic, but demographics have a more constant relationship with learning opportunities than technology access throughout the studied period.
