HECHT, Ana Carolina; ENRIZ, Noelia    PALACIOS, Mariana García. Reflections about the impact of isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic on the education of the indigenous peoples of Argentina (NEA). []. , 28, pp.40-50. ISSN 2318-9282.

ABSTRACT In Argentina, the suspension of classes at all educational levels was established on March 16th for 14 days, then extended by the presidential decree that established the Preventive and Compulsory Social Isolation (ASPO) as a health measure against the expansion of COVID-19, and continues throughout the country, except for some departments in certain provinces where experiences of return to the classroom have been generated. In this article, we will report on some of the most important impacts that this modality has had on the intercultural education of the Indigenous peoples of Chaco and Misiones (Argentinian northeast) with whom we work. To do this, it was necessary to re-signify our usual ways of relating so that, while complying with the ASPO, we can record the educational situation of these peoples. Therefore, we continue to contact some of their community referents through Whatsapp, dialoguing about the challenges and questions that have opened up in this context.
