Edição Especial: Emergência e Colapsos instituídos pela Pandemia 'COVID-19' e as Implicações no Âmbito Docente

The year 2020 was characterized by changes and transformations that required abrupt adaptations in society (from the Latin societas association) and, consequently, in nations of worldwide due to the spread of SARS-CoV-2. The implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic, so designated by the WHO - World Health Organization in March 2020, established a kind of 'globalization' in public health [a metaphor for the epidemiological sense of Pandemia]. In this context, all the organizational spheres of world society have matched the status of “social isolation”, setting the historical framework of the Third Industrial Revolution or Digital Age as it has been spread. The COVID-19 Pandemic reverberated in the three sectors of society (State, Market and Civil Society) unusual actions that, although based on vast technology, came up against the disparity in their dissemination and application. Against the odds, the academic and scientific sectors have focused on technological resources, bringing together and sharing research, whose worldwide efforts have resulted in the record of immunizations (vaccine) against COVID-19. Contiguously, the education sectors diverged opinions and action plans in the 2020 academic year, which continue in a wide discussion for the newcomer 2021. In this context, as the editor in chief of the Texture, I invited the general director and educational managers (course coordinators) from Faculdade Maria Milza-FAMAM to present the panorama of this HEI - Higher Education Institution, located in the Reconcavo da Bahia, Brazil in the face of Emergencies and unfolding instituted by the ' COVID-19’ Pandemic and the implications in the higher education Scope.
