University volunteer students create a network to support learning for ESO and Baccalaureate youth
  • More than 100 volunteer students from the UPV/EHU and the UPNA have already been involved and support students who need reinforcement for not being able to continue their studies online or for difficulties. A bank of notes has also been created, since "in this difficult juncture the collectivization of resources is essential".

Due to the lack of technological resources at home, lost in online classes or because they need it for any reason, the University’s Indar Batasuna student movement volunteers are helping the students of ESO, Baccalaureate and First Courses.

The students who are in a worse situation, the uncertainty in the evaluations, the lack of coordination that the crisis of the pandemic has generated on many occasions… have had in mind when launching the initiative. “As long as conditions in education and in other areas do not change, it is up to us to put class solidarity in place to deal with the situation,” they say.

How do the reinforcement classes do?

The options are Skype, Hangouts, email or phone, depending on the needs of each of them. Even if they live nearby, and with the security measures taken, they face to face. Contact routes are also several: email uibnazionala@gmail.com, mobile (688 646 697), Twitter (@UIBnational-) and Instagram (@uib_nacional).

They rely on the following areas: Physics, Chemistry, Technology, Technical Drawing, Biology, Geology, Mathematics, Basque, Spanish, English, French, Latin, Greek, Philosophy, History, History of Art, Economics, Geography.

Finally, students collect the notes they send and upload them to the network to make them available to everyone. In the network MEGA.nz, the bank of notes is in the direction of the Union of Forces of the University. Students can send their notes by email.

In Donostia-San Sebastián, a support network for school works in Euskera

On the other hand, a network of volunteers has also been set up in Donostia-San Sebastián to help elementary school children in Basque or to conduct conversation classes in Basque. The decision comes after many children and adolescents have seen their chances of staying in Euskera reduced normally due to confinement. Several phones have been provided and information can be requested from: 680 671 818
