This paper aims to describe the perceptions of undergraduate female students from public and private institutions about distance education during confinement due to COVID-19 in three cities in the state of Yucatan. The methodology used was mixed research methods, based on semi- structured interviews and data analysis from national and international sources. Among the findings the challenges of both groups of students in the implementation of online education during the first months of the pandemic in 2020 were recorded. This paper's distinctiveness is that it contributes to research on the advancement of girls’ education, through the collection of primary information, in order to make suggestions that allow them to continue in the national educational system.
