3 . Gerardo Ixcoy is a 27-year-old teacher in Guatemala. He teaches in the area where having electricity is something of a luxury and students have no access to mobile apps or computers, which became a problem when Guatemalan government had to choose distance education for students at home because of COVID-19 in mid-March.

Gerardo Ixcoy felt that he had to teach those children living far from the digital world. After all, education is a universal right. But what was the solution?

Gerardo bought himself a secondhand tricycle with his savings. Once he had the tricycle, the next step was to change it into a classroom on wheels. He put a roof with a solar panel（太阳能电池板）on it, along with a screen to avoid the spread of COVID-19. He fixed a whiteboard on it so he could explain to the students the basics of primary education： math, the local language and the national language Spanish.

The purpose of the solar panel is to provide constant power for a small loudspeaker so he can teach from a distance. It's a matter of respecting the healthy distance required to be safe from the virus. He, the teacher, stays outside, and the student participates from his or her house.

He tries to visit his students at least twice a week, riding his classroom — cycle. The children he serves say that, although he visits them for only a few hours a week, they look forward to it. They appreciate his visit because they know he has limited time he can devote to them. They must take advantage of it to learn.

During the outbreak of COVID-19, online courses played     1     key role for students. But how do parents feel about this approach?

A recent survey     2     (conduct) by China Youth Daily has found that about 58.3 percent of Chinese parents of middle and primary school students have a positive attitude toward the     3     (effect) of online courses. Of the2,470 parents of middle and primary school students     4     were surveyed. 61. 4 percent of those living in first-tier cities     5     (satisfy) with online courses, while about half of those living in counties, villages and other remote areas felt otherwise.

About 74 percent of the parents said online courses have added an extra burden on them     6     they have to spend more time taking care of and     7     (assist) their children. One Beijing parent told CGTN: “Most of the courses are delivered through recorded videos rather than livestreaming (直播). So students do not deal     8     (direct) with teachers. During classes, parents need to keep an eye on their children     9     (ensure ) they stay focused.”

About 70.5 percent of the respondents complained that their children got distracted (分心的) during online studies, with 92.8 percent blaming it for a lack of     10     (interact) they would have had in a classroom.
