The debate is part of the Cycles of three Symposia on Presential VS Semi-Presential and Distance Learning, carried out by a group of four private universities in the African country Angola, called the Association of Higher Education Institutions of Angola (AIESPA).

In his speech, the doctor professor presented the challenges of Distance Learning during the global pandemic, to which universities and faculty had to adapt, in the face of the pandemic, to disseminate academic content, in addition to the social inequalities of internet access in Brazilian regions, their social and economic differences, and how all of these factors interfere with the arrival of content to Brazilian academics.
