No class for a year: COVID-19 worsens Latin American inequality

WORLD / AMERICAS By AFP Published: Mar 10, 2021 04:48 PM Like some 890,000 other pupils, 8-year-old Brithany has not been to class in a year in Panama - the country with the most missed in-person school days due to the coronavirus pandemic. Brithany attends an occasional online lesson on her single mother s prepaid cellphone, Milena Mendosa, who works two jobs cleaning houses and selling her wares at a market. On some days, the online classes get canceled. On others, the cellphone network cannot handle the traffic, and Brithany ends up playing instead of learning.
