Summary/Abstract: Equal access to education is of relevance to serving Mexico’s vulnerable population by 2020 and without a doubt, they are premises that need to be implemented to achieve sustainable development. However, the educational diagnosis is a shadow rather than the COVID-19 health crisis, which is now looming and will have great repercussions in academic training in the short, medium and long term. The objective of the work is to analyze the socioeconomic characteristics of the school-age population of basic education in Mexico and how it accesses the program “Learn at Home”, through the technological means available to continue their studies in the school year 2020-2021, supported by the digital means they have at home. The methodology for conducting the study has been built by combining the geographical, ethnographic, and phenomenological method, which helps to understand human behavior towards this new national educational normality. As a result, data and mapping on population marginalization were obtained at the national level, as well as the data related to health services in basic education, taking into account inclusion and equity under the current situation, which becomes more vulnerable due to COVID-19.
