“…The results of this study strengthen the consistency of previous research, which found that the risk of children having academic difficulties, dropping out of school, and English skills at school can be avoided by increasing the socioeconomic abilities of parents (Poon, 2020). Other studies also confirm the results of this study (Mena & Bulla, 2022;Rodríguez-Hernández et al, 2020;Sumi et al, 2022;Vera et al, 2019), which shows that the socioeconomic conditions of parents can change academic achievement. On the other hand, there are other studies that confirm this research, for example (Rumbaoa et al, 2022;Suna & Özer, 2021;van Zwieten et al, 2021), which found that socioeconomic status was not correlated with their children's academic achievement.…”

“…In line with this, several studies find that children from low-income families are disproportionately at risk of experiencing various academic difficulties, dropout rates, and English at school (Bos et al, 1999;Poon, 2020). The results of recent studies also confirm the validity and importance of the relationship between family economic conditions and student academic achievement (Mena & Bulla, 2022;Rodríguez-Hernández et al, 2020;Sumi et al, 2022;Vera et al, 2019). However, not all studies have found that SES affects academic achievement (see Rumbaoa et al, 2022;Simamora et al, 2020;Suna & Özer, 2021;van Zwieten et al, 2021).…”

Does Parental Income and Education Improve Academic Achievement? A Case of Public High School Students at Tangerang Municipality. Objectives: The study aims to examine the relationship between parents' socioeconomic status and the academic achievement of public high school students in Tangerang Municipality. Methods: This research is a cross-sectional study of 660 (Cochran formulation with a sampling error of 3.7%) students from a total of 6,551 public senior high schools. The author utilized a random sampling technique. The primary data was obtained through a questionnaire that has been tested for validity and reliability. The questionnaires were distributed to the participants using the students' WhatsApp groups. The author used a binary logit regression model for data analysis. Findings: The results showed that socioeconomic status significantly impacted on student academic achievement. Parents of students with high socioeconomic status were more likely to improve their child's academic results. Conclusion: One of the determinants of the academic achievement of high school students is the socioeconomic condition of their parents. The results of this study provide not only an expansion of the education science and education economics literature but also empirical implications for parents and secondary education policymakers.

“…It is estimated that out of 1.5 billion school-age children affected by school closures globally between 2020 and 2021, 463 million children were not able to attend online classes because they did not have computers or the internet at home [ 79 ]. In Latin America, for example, more than 13 million children could not access any form of remote learning during the first two months of the pandemic, with rural students bearing a higher share of the problem [ 47 ]. In some countries, television and radio programs were produced to offset the impact of not having internet or computers.…”

“…Control variables were selected based on research about socioeconomic achievement gaps, which indicates that gender, access to preschool education, parental education, parental employment, and school characteristics are highly related to school performance [ 41 , 8 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]. In what follows, we explain each of the control variables that were used in this paper and the decisions pertaining to coding.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the digitalization of education to be accelerated to continue the teaching–learning processes in confined populations. The irruption of this fact caused the evolution that had previously been occurring in the integration of digital technologies, and in general information and communication technologies (ICT), in education to be distorted, as their use multiplied exponentially in a few months. However, it is interesting to know how integrating these media and tools in the educational world evolved without having mediated an anomalous event such as the pandemic. This article studies the time university students in Spanish-speaking countries spent using the Internet for educational tasks in the pre-COVID era to determine whether this use was homogeneous in this common geographical and cultural space. Knowledge of these behaviors is valuable for analyzing their relationship with the then-current processes of ICT integration in higher education. It can serve as a basis for comparative studies of these trends and what happened during and after the pandemic. Among them is determining whether specific ICT integration strategies were not pedagogically adequate due to the situation’s urgency. The analysis of this study was descriptive and inferential statistics, based on the survey method with the application of data mining using software R. It was carried out over seven years (2012–2018) and applied to a sample of 2482 students from seven countries. The findings obtained have allowed us to determine that the use of the Internet by Spanish-speaking university students, in general, increased significantly over time in the pre-COVID era, in parallel to a more significant presence in educational processes, with conditioning factors in each country depending on its economy and political and social situation.
