The socialists of Archena have not hesitated to put on gloves and masks to go to those houses in the municipality where the digital divide and the confinement due to the Covid-19 pandemic, prevent children from following the routine of their duties and tasks.

The mechanism is easy, councilors and party members carry homework, index cards and other printed materials that teachers have sent to children in need.

So far, few parents have resorted to this proposal that started this past Thursday, but they hope that they will increase the requests with the tasks that are sent after the end of the second semester, in addition to the pending ones.

This initiative also starts with controversy after the socialists presented it in register to carry it out from the services of the City Council itself and the mayor, Patricia Fernández, branded it as a "joke" on social networks.

For Gonzalo Caracena, a socialist spokesman, "that there are situations like this in which children have nothing to stay connected with their teachers, while the days go by, it is no joke, and as far as possible we must fight it."

With the confinement, to which the population of the entire Region of Murcia is being forced, the digital divide emerges and the vulnerability of many families to the telematic system of carrying out educational tasks.

A situation that in many areas of Spain is already being counteracted by taking the printed duties home so that no one is left behind.
