A Coruña (Spain), Apr 18 (EFE).- Teaching and learning are facing a great challenge, with positive and negative aspects, during the coronavirus lockdown.SOUNDBITES OF SUSANA VÁZQUEZ, TEACHER VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE EUROPEAN FORUM ON EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION-FEAE GALICIA:"For the first time, we have shared all our resources to the rest: sharing activities of all levels, in web sites such as Aula Galega or hundreds of solidarity initiative launched by teachers. I think this is positive. The digital divide exists, it's true, and it is necessary to consider what has been done until now. But maybe the most worrying thing about this crisis is that it's possible that the education divide is widening.""For college-educated families, it's easier to give support to their children now regarding school activities and learning. But for low-income families, this is more difficult because only the school gives their children the opportunity of integration and development."
