preview

Speed Readsschool shutdownBolivia couldn't find a balance between preventing coronavirus spread and keeping its children learning.The South American country will simply cancel the rest of its school year, its president Jeanine Añez Chavez announced Sunday.

Private school teachers also feared they'd lose their incomes if their schools had to shut down, DW reports.Bolivia's regime has cancelled the remainder of the 2020 school year, as dialogue breaks down with teachers unions who have been on strike against the privatization of education.— Kawsachun News (@KawsachunNews) The decision comes as schools in the northern hemisphere struggle to figure out how they'll reopen in a month or less. Millions of Americans, particularly in rural areas, lack internet access, and even with it, it's hard to keep children engaged and learning remotely.
