Pandemic and higher education in Latin America

Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused several problems and effects on higher education in Latin America and the Caribbean. Given this, the work objective is to reflect on the themes, effects, and challenges that the current health conjuncture has left for the debate on higher education in this region. The study is a critical reflection based on a literature analysis. Ten topics are identified to analyze Latin American universities and some challenges arising in this context are reflected. It is concluded that, being on an exploratory level, the research gives rise to a new research agenda.
