This paper presents a study of the educational implications of the covid-19 pandemic from the perspective of higher education students. The objective was to describe the perception of students about virtual education during the pandemic. For this purpose, a survey was applied during the August-December 2021 semester to students of the Tecnológico Nacional de México, Campus Jerez. A measurement instrument of 21 items was developed and validated with Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The sample was of 250 students and the data obtained were analyzed with SPSS software version 25. The results indicate that the students have adequate connection and equipment to connect to their virtual classes; furthermore, that the materials used by the professors favored their learning; it was also found that during the confinement they felt stressed in carrying out their school tasks; they developed the ability of self-learning; their school performance did not improve, and finally, that they prefer face-to-face classes.
