From rural schools to the traditional system, all methods are accepted as long as they are endorsed by the Department of Education of the Generalitat de Catalunya or the Ministry of Education. However, some families were unaware of the existence of distance schooling, an option chosen in exceptional contexts such as long journeys or changes of residence. But this system is being taken into consideration by a growing community, given the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a recent press article, classes in pre-primary education and up to 4th grade of primary education could exceed the initial planned number of pupils per class. In addition, masks may not be compulsory as long as they are "with the stable coexistence group". It remains to be seen what happens to the large block of pupils in compulsory secondary education. In response to these optimistic measures for some, many families remain uncertain about the upcoming school year. At the same time, the Ministry of Education has proposed the creation of isolated groups that respect the safety distance in each school in order to control possible resurgence in September.

As a result of this phenomenon, certain trends are beginning to favour e-learning. Homeschooling is becoming a viable alternative for parents who fear for their children's health and that is why today we are going to look at what homeschooling is all about.

The truth is that a total of 1,130 students were registered on the CIDEAD platform last year to study online, according to the niusdiario website.

E-learning in 7 facts

1. What is it? A form of education in which students are not required to physically attend the place of study. However, they may be required to attend for occasional tests or exams in order to ensure that the learner does not cheat.
2. The student receives the study material in person, by post, email or on a website using a downloadable system.
3. As a direct consequence of the previous point, many educational resources on the platform can be downloaded free of charge.
4. All teachers are specialists in the subjects they teach and are trained in distance education and new technologies, so they know how to optimise resources for this purpose.
5. It is a system that encourages student self-management, promotes the development of their creativity, their self-taught capacity and, the point that most interests many, we are talking about a flexible education system in terms of timetables.
6. The most widely used platform for this modality is Moodle.
7. .For obvious reasons, there is no possibility that the student may suffer bullying throughout their academic life.

The dangers of remote schooling

• The fact of eliminating physical interaction between pupils can lead to the child having difficulties in communicating in a group due to a lack of experience in social etiquette.


• The possible passivity of the learner towards this medium, perceiving it as an easy or less demanding medium.


• Difficulty in detecting whether the learner is understanding 100% of each of the lessons. The fact that someone reaches a correct solution does not necessarily mean that they have been able to use the right method, understanding each of its parts.
