This article focused on analyzing the evolution that ICTs have had within the educational sector in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and the advantages they offer for the future of Latin American education. For this, a general review of the bibliography related to the presence of ICTs in the educational field of Latin America was carried out, focusing on the period corresponding to this pandemic. Scientific articles were collected from scientific databases such as Scielo, Redalyc, Scopus, among others. Based on this work, it was concluded that the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic and global migration towards virtual education resulted in a strong challenge for the region's educational systems, which have been able to deal with their deficiencies. and cope with the hasty transition to a virtual education mediated by ICT. In the end, it is possible to affirm that this health crisis came to serve as a boost for this region to finally move towards successfully adopting these digital tools within the educational field.
