The epidemiological situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the close of physical spaces of schools of all levels of education. To overcome this, it was necessary to adopt emergency measures, including Emergency Remote Education (ERE), using technologies to interact synchronously with students. Besides, it was also required to reconfigure educational practices and develop skills in digital literacy to enable the continuity of educational experiences, respecting isolation but maintaining the interaction of teachers and students. We consider that it is essential to collect information about the degree of student satisfaction with the (ERE) in three countries (Portugal, Brazil and Turkey), located on three continents (Europe, America and Asia). Data were collected on 19/20 and 20/21 by researchers from the countries using a survey created on Google Forms, assuring the confidentiality of the data. We obtained 566 valid responses: Portugal 140, Turkey 359 and Brazil 67. From the results, the models chosen in the three countries did not please in a unanimous way all the students involved. There are significant differences in access, knowledge of the platforms used and even in the methodologies used by different teachers concerning countries. On the contrary, about the possibility of moving to a permanent online model, there is unanimity, verifying from the opinions that face-to-face education is not replaceable by the model that has been used over the last two years.
