ABSTRACT
The imposition of corporal isolation and the physical closure of schools required adaptations and transformations in basic education institutions with regard to forms of contact and teaching-learning actions. The aim of this study was to describe and reflect on the tactics and strategies of the UFRGS College of Application in the face of the need for social isolation and maintenance of teaching activities. Certeau's theory was used to analyze the tactics and strategies used by the school in this period. As methodological procedures, public documents were used, in which content analysis resulted in three analytical categories: remote directed studies, digital inclusion, and the food kit. The results showed the transformation of counter-hegemonic tactics to combat social inequality and access to education into power strategies for maintaining remote studies.
