Moving into a more equitable virtual Honduran education

Abstract

In 2021, education in Honduras underwent a shift in its methodological approach. It transitioned from in-person instruction to fully virtual learning due to the health crisis caused by COVID-19. However, this change in practice does not provide sufficient equitable learning opportunities for all students. In fact, it may exacerbate problems already present in traditional Honduran classrooms. Teaching work is always oriented toward a critical examination of our professional practice; teachers are likely among the professionals who most constantly critique themselves, their practices, and their professional methodology. This constant self-critique allows access to information through different and new ideas, concepts, or theories that, in many cases, modernize or evolve the educational process to transform it, making it more effective, engaging, and equitable.
