Abstract

The Covid 19 pandemic has demonstrated the emergence of new factors that can bring imbalances in the educational system: the change in the educational-instructive and formative vision, equal opportunities regarding education, support from the community, and psychological support offered in educational institutions. An involvement of all factors contributing to education is necessary to benefit all children equally. The online school highlighted among the multitude of challenges and the one through which the teaching staff had to show ingenuity in generating solutions for unforeseen problems, online activities became spontaneous, differentiated, diversified, and combined with other types of activities. The present research wants to highlight the fact that, if a few years ago, humanity did not think about the importance of the existence of a computer or the importance of the existence of the Internet connection, following the pandemic, the technology that has already evolved has demonstrated the importance of its existence in any field, including in the field of education. The objectives of the sociological survey carried out through the questionnaire were: to identify the number of students without the opportunity to access online school during the pandemic; to highlight the reasons/causes why some students did not access the online school; to emphasize the dimensions that can contribute to the use of the online environment in educational institutions. The questionnaire was completed by 200 people, including 188 teachers, 2 school mediators, and 10 social workers.
