Abstract
With the outbreak of COVID19 pandemic, all educative institutions were forced to implement remote teaching. One of the hypotheses that rose with greater force was that social inequalities would enlarge inequalities in internet access and study conditions among students. In face to this impasse, graduate commission of one unity of a Brazilian public university, decided to develop a study in order to correlate social characteristics of students, connectivity conditions (internet access and available equipments), and home study conditions. This works presents the results of that study that involved 1.681 graduate students. It was elaborated a questionnaire, available online during a week. A qualitative/quantitative analysis was conducted, relating internet access and home conditions of study, in EaD and/or online modality. Analysis and results obtained made it possible to refute the inference that establish a linear relationship between quantity of equipments and familiar income of a student and the probability of that student favorable to remote teaching. Other hypotheses raised on, such as that the opinion about the continuity of the school semester in that conditions would depend on another kind of factors.
