Itâs no secret that the pandemic has made everyoneâs life harder. But remote learning presented a set of compounding challenges for refugee parents of school-aged children this year.
San Da Win, a Karen refugee and mother to a kindergartener and preschooler, says that her older childâs teacher came to the house with an iPad in the spring. The teacher tried to explain, in English and sign language, how to use it for remote learning, and gave her an instruction sheetâalso in English.
