HUANCA-AROHUANCA, Jesús Wiliam; SUPO-CONDORI, Felipe; SUCARI LEON, Reynaldo  and  SUPO QUISPE, Luis Alberto. Social Issues in virtual higher education during pandemic’s time in Peru. Innovaciones Educativas [online]. 2020, vol.22, suppl.1, pp.115-128. ISSN 2215-4132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/ie.v22iespecial.3218.

In pandemic and information society contexts, virtual education using information and communication technologies (ICT) becomes evident and urging. The research then seeks to describe both teachers’ and students’ social problem in turbulent times that restrict virtual education in Peruvian universities that simultaneously present multiple social problems. It was carried out with the help of the hypotheticaldeductive method, online surveys of two state-run universities and two privately-run universities located in the city of Lima. In like manner, four state-run universities and four privately-run universities located in the provinces were analyzed, with a population universe of 260 students. To conclude, that virtual education in Peruvian universities is subject to failure due to the lack of certain skills of those who impart knowledge and the lack of internet access by students from peripheral spaces representing the excluded majority of a country with serious economic, social and political deficiencies.
