Challenge

The COVID-19 pandemic has given us various lessons. Mexico has faced various challenges to implement a new normal that allows the country's social, financial and educational activities to continue. Regarding education, digital strategies have been implemented, but several studies indicate that in Mexico only 57 % of people have access to a computer with internet, which dificult education from having positive results. Thousands of children have been left without access to the right to education.

Solution

However, it is not only about access to the internet or a computer, it is necessary to develop the digital tools necessary to continue with the educational training of children and adolescents. This project, in addition to offering Internet acces, offers the accompaniment of teachers and trainers that allow them to accompany children in these new processes derived from the pandemic. Guaranteeing access to a quality education.

The skills acquired through this project will have a positive impact on our users, in the short and long term. In the first instance, allowing them to continue with their academic training despite the pandemic and in the second instance, improving their digital skills, which will allow them to improve their chances of employment.
