Parents Demand Clarity on Remote Learning Amid Measles Outbreak in La Paz

La Paz, Bolivia – Parents of private school students in La Paz are expressing significant confusion and concern over recent communications from the Departmental Directorate of Education regarding a shift to distance learning. The directive, issued in response to measles outbreaks, has been criticized for its lack of clarity, leading to inconsistent implementation across various educational units. According to Raúl Córdoba, a representative of private school parents, the initial communication from the Vice-Minister and Minister of Education indicated a move to remote classes. However, a subsequent document from the Departmental Directorate of Education specifies that distance learning is only mandatory for schools with suspected measles cases. This conflicting information has left parents uncertain about the correct protocol. "We cannot wait for a student to get infected before measures are taken," stated Córdoba, emphasizing the urgency for clear guidelines. Parents are demanding that authorities provide immediate clarification to avoid further health risks to students, as many private schools are reportedly not complying with the distance learning measure, despite the ongoing health concerns.
