Guachochi, Sep 11 (EFE).- In the impoverished Sierra Tarahumara region of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, many children and young people were on the verge of dropping out of school during the pandemic due to lack of resources just like around 250,000 children in Mexico, according to recent report, making it easier for them to be attracted to drug trafficking.For a year and a half -from March 2020 until the end of August- Mexico kept schools closed and long-distance classes were offered -through television, radio and internet- to more than 33 million students of all levels.

A federal judge has ruled 114,000 homeless students in New York City are to have their day in court. Business Insider reports a judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit to advance to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city. The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity. For as long as that deprivation exists, the City bears a duty...to furnish them with the means necessary for them to attend school. US District Judge Alison Nathan
