The study addresses inequalities in access to and use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) between public and private schools in the city of Bahía Blanca, Argentina, affected by current socioeconomic segregation. During remote education due to the Covid-19 pandemic, these disparities were accentuated, evidencing a digital divide between the educational sectors. For the analysis, a descriptive and qualitative approach was used, involving interviews with management and teaching staff from various primary schools in the region. The results highlight intersectoral educational inequalities, demonstrating teaching and organizational practices that vary depending on the available technologies. This disparity deepens the differences in teaching strategies and educational experiences between public and private school students, amplifying the educational gap. This study reveals the significant influence of the digital divide on the quality of teaching and learning in a context of school segregation in Argentina.
