SANTOS, Marilene  and  MODESTO, Mônica Andrade. THE SYMPTOM OF DIGITAL EXCLUSION IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC:A DIAGNOSIS IN FIELD RURAL EDUCATION OF SERGIPE. Práx. Educ. [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.50, e13582.  Epub July 02, 2024. ISSN 2178-2679.  https://doi.org/10.22481/praxisedu.v19i50.13582.

Throughout history, the rural population suffers exclusion in several areas of the Brazilian social fabric. In the last decade, this exclusion worsened with the dismantling of investments and the policy of closing schools due to school nucleation. With the Covid-19 pandemic, this scenario was even more affected, resulting in the deliverance of poor quality education during the period in which Emergency Remote Teaching (ERT) prevailed. Facing this view, this essay aims to diagnose the impacts of digital exclusion in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in the state of Sergipe. Parting from a qualitative study, semi-structured interviews were carried out with teachers, students, members of the school management group and mothers, in a total of 26 participants, who were/are part of the school community of educational institutions located in rural areas of four regions of Sergipe (Agreste Central, Alto Sertão, Centro-Sul and Médio Sertão). The outcoming data were analysed based on the Discourse Analysis proposed by Orlandi (2009), and the results indicated, in the context of Sergipe, the accentuation of the invisibility of rural education during the pandemic and the duration of the ERT due to digital exclusion and the lack of public policies, depriving access to quality education.

Keywords : formal education; rural education; emergency remote teaching.
