Outdoors in less than ideal conditions. And in Mexico Education currently means sitting in front of a t. V. We look at the impact of school staying closed for months. Education shared learning and the opportunity to engage with their p. S. Barely anything is more important for children but the coronavirus pandemic has turned things upside down frog lopes 1500000000 school kids schools have led to home schooling and online Remote Learning its a highly improvised situation. But education generally has long been a pressing global issue 264000000 Children Worldwide have no access to it until and the pandemic has made things much worse currently around 463000000 children are not receiving any. A form of education neither in the classroom nor its. Better to have a bit of school the none at all thats the motto of the Mexican Government its current Education Program centers around something found in the most living room. A kitchen for a classroom and instead of pen and paper a remote control. Its a way of learning that calls for a lot of discipline. Rather then it feels weird but ill do my best. Between 4 oclock in the afternoon and 7 in the evening all middle School Students in mexico watch classes on t. V. Topics include the big bang and galileo. If. They send galileo went to prison but i dont get why. 11 year old christophers questions will remain unanswered the Government Funded Program broadcasts a new class every day infection levels in the country are still high and children may not yet return to the classroom christopher doesnt want to get the virus in case he infects his grandmother. Next up is music followed by Matthew Christopher is glad when his mother comes home from work earlier than usual. If youve got a class not yet but i only understand half of it. Hilda is a single mother shes supposed to work the whole day but she wants to be there to help her son get used to this new kind of learning. You know as you get that if they dont Pay Attention in school then they really arent going to concentrate when theyre left on their own with the t. V. And their school books. Meanwhile private schools. In mexico are focusing on online classrooms. For her spanish class isabella is collecting objects and will write a story about them she only gets to see her classmates on a screen but at least she sees them.

She gets to talk to her teachers and her parents are working at home so theyre on hand to help too for 10 year old isabella on the line the ending is going well. Many in mexico fear that the pandemic will exacerbate the countrys problem with social inequality. That it was a growing imbalance so im worried about our country. Education is what Society Needs in order to make progress. Allow him to see that the Mexican Government is pinning its hopes on the school broadcasts given that 16000000 households have no Internet Connection to t. V. Classes are the best solution simply allowing millions of children to miss out on school isnt an option experts say. Ethically speaking that would be a mistake we would have failed in our educational duty. This is no alternative its not perfect it doesnt reach everyone we must continue to look for Better Solutions other options. Hilda is concerned christopher hasnt taken any notes at all at some point the teachers are supposed to email their students questions about what theyve learned the family borrowed and old i pad from friends. Never thats going. To be honest im not sure that we will learn much this way the learning yes or no instead of returning to the classroom for the new school year Mexico School children are watching t. V. Its not ideal but its better than nothing. Things are far from ideal for many school kids in india too and images like these seem like a distant dream right now india has been hard hit by the coronavirus Government Schools have been closed since the lockdown started affecting almost 250000000 primary and secondary school kids only older peoples are still receiving partial to mention for poorer families theres no alternative to analog education but somebody time and to make it happen. The site that greets poonam every morning is typical in todays india the country is one huge construction site society is in flux and india is visibly transformed. Beneath this overpass on the outskirts of delhi poonam and other local teenagers are meeting for lessons in reading writing and arithmetic a school on a building site the din is deafening obviously this isnt a suitable place for a classroom but with state schools closed because of the coronavirus pandemic the kids have no other option. Than results of a yoga class thats why i come here i come twice a day so i can keep up with my studies we have english in the morning and math and science in the afternoon. It means i can keep up with my classes and hopefully at some point past my exams but i would like to get. Knowledge part is a qualified social scientist hes applied for a job with the government and is waiting to hear back in the meantime he volunteers as a teacher in this makeshift school. Its out partway north these students havent been able to go to school for 4 or 5 months its really hard on them they come from poor families their parents are illiterate day laborers field work is its hard enough for them to get an education at all and now the pandemic has made it even more difficult. Poonam goes home at midday her parents are hard at work on the fields harvesting okra her mother has been up since dawn and expects poonam to help out. Whatever their life there i helped out with the harvest yesterday and today i also have to help i dont like working on the fields but my mother says we children have to help then the work is done faster my brother takes the vegetables to the market. He can ive always worked i never went to school it wasnt an option for me im leading the kumar is have 6 children who all need to be looked after and fed until they leave home poonam is 15 and her mother feels its time she moved out. The costs of keeping our fields going are so high we barely have enough to get by we would have married her off but we cant afford a dowry no one would take her without one. Sons can eventually bring in an income but the poor families daughters are simply an added expense and theres no point in getting them an education the poor the family the more deeply entrenched this way of thinking is india has a population of nearly 1400000000 and millions live in poverty only one in 5 households has Internet Access in many rule areas there isnt even electricity this Digital Divide contributes to social inequality experts warn that now the Global Pandemic is further jeopardizing childrens Educational Opportunities the lord of the efforts into. Of schooling of children into more tribal areas the digital means that even those who have walked through the school in the last decade or so theyre off the map of learning the infrastructure penetration for receiving do your job is not even simply nonexistent if we look at the divide of inequality the most important challenge that we are facing is the lack of Technology Good devices the Smart Devices there is a huge gap between the haves and have nots so the children who are no want to Internet Connectivity or this mondo bases they are definitely lacking in this war to an environment in India Education is a privilege not everyone can afford fortunately for her middle class family can afford it her classes are now online no problem for a student with a reliable Internet Connection at home a private school in india costs the equivalent of around 1000 euros a year for most people thats simply an affordable when i think of the Government School i feel that im still like im so privileged to be in a family rich control i mean with the sources like laptops internet but think of the government School Children one not even to even it then be classes so that i think so i lack. The classes held underneath the bridge on the outskirts of delhi are worlds away from online lessons so far no one here has come down with the virus but no one wears masks and the students are huddled together if they keep their distance they wouldnt hear the teacher above the noise so theyre taking their chances. If they miss one day they can catch up. But if they miss a whole year of schooling theyll miss the boat completely and wont stand a chance. All these young people. Is a chance to improve their lot in life by getting an education now even that modest goal could be denied them get a name i dont want to end up like my parents working on the field i want to learn something and have a better life i want to make something of myself i want to be educated. Pulliam would like to be a teacher one day and give other young people like yourself better opportunities for that shes willing to go to a makeshift school under an overpass on a construction site.

They werent sure local people would in fact be interested. Who is a journalist says conservation does not top the list of her countrys priorities but she contends that with enough Popular Support it should be possible to do more to protect this beautiful mountainous area.

Sharply lives near what was once the iron curtain of the ribbon of land in some areas nearby have been designated the European Green belt by an association of the same name. Its mission is to protect the Natural Landscapes there which have been shielded for decades from major developments such as farming and construction. The association promotes eco tourism renovating mountain huts and building new ones should entice more hikers to come and explore. The association also seeks to counter illegal logging which is a serious problem here the timber mafia has carved this track through the forest without permission it extends for several kilometers and s.

They employed 25 shepherds during the season they spent 2 weeks at a time up in the mountains living in huts like this. And. The only source of power here are small solar panels enough to light the hut with a new Hydro Power Plant that would change the shepherd explains. It would be good then or a little villages would finally have electricity. These small lines on home i want to disagree with. The good for people with. I mean im a member. Of the you know. This is the 1st. The conservationists promote traditional ways of life but most people want at least a few modern conveniences. Just down into a valley. This is where one of the new hydro plants is to be located. Its the plan is to build 11. Not everybody in the villages of shoplifting that is concerned about protecting the environment.
