According to data retrieved by the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) in 2018, in all Latin American and Caribbean countries analyzed, the share of 15 year-old students with a desktop computer at home differed by at least 25 percentage points between the bottom and top socio-economic and cultural quartiles. In concerning access to a laptop at home, the differences were even more pronounced, with at least 33 percentage points between the two groups mentioned. In both cases, the biggest level of inequality among these countries was observed for Mexico. While only 13 percent of 15 year-old pupils in the bottom quartile had a laptop at home, the same was true for 78 percent of those in the top quartile.
