Educational institutions in Mexico are currently based only on traditional methods of learning, that is, they follow the traditional set up of face-to-face lectures in a classroom. The sudden outbreak of a deadly disease called Covid-19 caused by a Corona Virus shook our educational plans. The WHO declared it as a pandemic. This situation challenged the education system and forced educators to shift to an online mode of teaching overnight.
In our case, we had no option to shift entirely to online teaching–learning. We have discontinued in-person teaching. It is uncertain to get back to normal teaching anytime soon. As social distancing is preeminent at this stage, this will have negative effects on learning opportunities. Educational units are struggling to find options to deal with this challenging situation.
This is a situation that demands humanity and unity. There is an urgent need to protect and save our students.
Several arguments are associated with e-learning. Accessibility, affordability, flexibility, learning pedagogy, life-long learning, and policy are some of the arguments related to online pedagogy.
In Mexico are many difficults to get an online education, starting for lack of equipments, internet signal and money to pay for that services.
We are facing two type crisis: one Sanitary and other Economic. We need two solutions.
COVID-19 is an historic event of unparalleled proportions that have direct impact on nearly every life. With no vaccine and no cure, the pandemic has killed people in every mexican state. The necessary isolation it imposes has robbed the bereaved of proper goodbyes and the comfort of mourning rituals.
Since march, we have only free on line activities.Many people in Mexico City is talking about heartbreak, divorce, struggles over identity and belonging, and questions of sex, sexism, friendship and family.
We tried to support all of them, but we have only one telephone line and only have twenty four hours per day. Children and its parents are our priority.
By the way, the school program is finishing in june month.
