Mexico's government won't allow in-person classes this year, which means Mexico's 30 million students will all be forced to learn remotely.

Officials say the coronavirus pandemic -- which has claimed roughly 60,000 lives amid more than 550,000 confirmed cases -- is still too dangerous to allow kids back in the classroom.

This time last year, Morales was just a public school teacher setting up his classroom, getting ready to hug his kids on their first day of school. It has worked out agreements with different TV channels to broadcast that content, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, with different grade levels at different hours.

For now, both the TV and radio programs will run through December but everything is subject to change based on how the pandemic plays out here over the next several months. But the pandemic could exacerbate what was already an acute problem -- and television and radio can't solve underlying disparities.
