This paper investigates the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic on homeschooling in Colombia, with a specific focus on the academic outcomes of students from vulnerable households. Utilizing Saber 11 test scores as a metric for academic achievement, the study delves into the influence of internet access and school migration on learning outcomes. The findings indicate that the closure of schools and the transition to homeschooling exacerbated disparities in academic performance, particularly affecting students from low-income backgrounds. Additionally, it is found that inequality also increased due to parental decisions to change pupils from private to public institutions. The study underscores the significance of considering socioeconomic factors and internet accessibility when devising educational strategies during crises.
