Hi everyone,

in Panama or elsewhere, school has inevitably been disturbed by the current pandemic. Studying abroad seems increasingly difficult as some borders remain closed, even to students.

Whether you are a student in Panama or a parent of a student currently dealing with issues with school or university, we would like to get some feedback from you.

How was the start of the academic year?

Were you able to go to Panama to study?

Were there any special measures in place to ensure social distancing? If so, what are they?

Were face-to-face courses maintained or replaced by virtual courses?

How did you experience the whole situation, either as a student or as a parent?

Thank you for your contribution!

Have a nice day,

Cheryl

Kids are all doing virtual school here, on line, or TV/phone if they don't have internet. It's a lot more work for the parents and teachers but they seem to be making it work. There are no plans to resume school in person at this point.

I don't know anything about foreign students.
