The cases of Portugal and Russia. Ensaio: aval. pol. públ. educ. [online]. 2024, vol.32, n.123, e0244315.  Epub Apr 19, 2024. ISSN 1809-4465.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s0104-40362024003204315.

Researchers from four countries conducted comparative research on the remote Education experience of Higher Education students during the Covid-19 pandemic and their return to face-to-face Education. Based on other research projects, we applied self-report questionnaires to convenience samples. This article focuses on the results for Portugal and Russia in relation to gender. Despite the differences between both countries, the findings point to the statistical predominance of women as well as their more positive attitudes toward remote Education. Factor analysis revealed that three factors converge to explain most of the variance: 1. Positive attitude in relation to remote Education, 2. Technical, psychological, and educational problems, 3. Positive attitude regarding the return to face-to-face Education. Although women have more access to Higher Education, they have lower occupational and income achievements than men.
