- The pandemic has aggravated problems and regional inequities with respect to telework and distance education;
- Lockdown measures have and will have many impacts;
- Distance education should be available to all students;
- The Internet facilitates and maintains communication for families, loved ones and caregivers;
- The Internet promotes access to media, information, culture and the arts;
