Social and educational challenges for primary education in spain in the sdgs

The main objective of this article is to show the challenges faced by primary schools in Spain, included in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the post-covid era. Challenges that range from the training and preparation of teachers in digital skills to the availability of digital resources in schools and in the homes where primary school students spend their lives, as well as additional specific digital training for mothers-fathers and for the students themselves. The objective is to generalize the familiarity of students, mothers-fathers, and teachers with digital devices and with the telematic learning model, not as a substitute for face-to-face teaching, but as training support for face-to-face teaching. The data we use comes from the TIMSS 2019 Report microdata file, published by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement OEA) in December 2020, with a sample for Spain of 501 primary schools and 9,555 students. This database allows us to contextualize the digital capacities of schools, teachers, and students (with answers from families) of primary education in Spain, just before the pandemic, and, with it, show the challenges that face in its future, in accordance with the SDGs.
