In the case of students; The immediate impact has obviously been the temporary cessation of the universities' face-to-face activities, which has left those who aspire to enter higher education in a new situation and without a clear idea of ​​how long it will last with impacts on their daily life, the costs incurred and their financial burdens and, of course, the continuity of their learning. The teaching staffs also suffer important effects in the workplace and professionally, it must be taken into account that not all HEIs have strategies for the continuity of teaching activity and, in their absence, temporary contracts may be terminated.
