The Gap in Access to Information and Communication Technologies in Rural Colombia

Abstract

For decades the rural sector in Colombia has been submerged in the needs and the inexistence of policies that allow eliminating the gaps with respect to the conditions of the rural sector. In relation to education, the situation has not been different, so this analysis seeks to raise a controversy in relation to inequality regarding access to information and communication technologies in educational processes in the rural sector in relation to the urban sector. In order to fulfill the objectives, the descriptive methodology was used, and it was possible to conclude the need to implement policies and measures to guarantee quality education in the rural sector through the use of ICTs.
