Abstract
This article assesses the digital skills of high school students in the rural and urban sectors of Chimborazo - Ecuador, currently this topic is recovering greater interest due to the health emergency that abruptly changed the modality of face-to-face education of around 1,300 million students to virtual education around the world. Methodologically it presents a quantitative approach, the technique used the survey, the instrument the questionnaire, five competency areas were evaluated; the sample consisted of 328 students from the urban sector and 429 from the rural sector of Chimborazo. Among the main results, it is evident that connectivity in the rural sector is scarce, in the urban sector a considerable group of students have access to the internet, that is, access to education is currently privatized for those who have this resource. The digital skills acquired by students in the two educational sectors are unequal, the most developed competence is communication to a greater degree in the urban sector, the least developed is the network security competence, there is no complete understanding of the dangers that implies the excessive and inappropriate use of technology in health. Finally, it is identified that digital competences in the two groups were acquired autonomously and not necessarily in educational centers, the use of ICT is personal and incipient in educational processes, with these results the need arises to propose processes of digital literacy to bridge this digital divide.
