VIRTUAL EDUCATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE 2030 AGENDA. AN INTROSPECTIVE LOOK AT VENEZUELAN EDUCATION

Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (2015), adopted by the United Nations, establishes as one of its fundamental objectives, ensuring that all people have access to high-quality education, which includes all and is fair, with opportunities for continuous learning throughout life. In this context, virtual education is presented as an ideal means to achieve the proposed goals, which became evident during the crisis generated by COVID-19. Three years later, Venezuelan education seems to still be indebted to the proposed goals, despite the various official announcements regarding the achievements achieved. In this essay, an introspective analysis of the reality of virtual education in Venezuela is made in the face of Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda, the progress, and the weaknesses of this educational modality based on information and communication technologies.
