Covid-19, Educational setup, Pakistani and Brazilian contextsAbstract
The pandemic has caused high global inequities in the educational system; consequently, all educational institutions were closed immediately, and the teaching-learning process was moved online. This study proposes a reflection based on a comparison of remote teaching in high schools in Pakistan and Brazil. In addition, this study analyses opportunities and challenges faced by educational institutions during remote learning, such as the use and access of digital technologies, digital training, and internet facilities for online learning. This research has a bibliographical and documental analysis of available online literature, official websites, and news about education management in both countries. The study concludes with observations on the dynamics and similarities of the educational setup between Pakistan and remote learning, as well as possible challenges to be considered and interest groups involved in educational management.
