Just like other fields, educational system is being modified as a result of Covid-19. One of the most outstanding measures is the fact that classroom activity has stopped and it has been replaced by distance learning, which may cause a great impact on vulnerable areas such as rural schools and attention to diversity in the so-called emptied Spain. This research aims at describing and understanding how school counsellors in rural areas perceive the impact on teaching-learning processes because of the Covid-19 health situation. To this end, interviews were performed as a gathering information technique for both understanding and giving a voice to counsellors belonging to Centros Rurales Agrupados de la Provincia de Guadalajara (Grouped Rural Centres in province of Guadalajara), in order to further study the changes in these rural schools. The main results pointed out that, despite a certain virtualization has been done, many barriers still isolated the rural areas from the large urban areas, once again being rural areas the most badly affected and resource-constrained. In this regard, specific proposals must be made for this area for ensuring quality education for everyone.

Cierre de Escuelas en Contextos Vulnerables desde la Perspectiva de los Orientadores: Impacto en Zonas Rurales

The relationship between the forest sector and the well-being of people that depend on it for their economic livelihoods in rural areas is of strong interest in forest policy. In this sense, Chile has developed a forest policy that has had positive impacts, particularly on economic and productive aspects, but also negative impacts, such as the reduction of natural forest area, biodiversity, and provision of ecosystem services, as well as the increase in social conflicts and land abandonment. However, there are few studies that have evaluated the impacts of forest policy on rural population and development of the territory. Therefore, the objective of this research is to evaluate the impacts of Chilean forest policy on rural communities, particularly in terms of demographic variables and indicators of community well-being. The study area corresponds to the Bio Bio and Nuble Regions (Chile), and the analysis includes productive, demographic, socioeconomic, and educational characteristics of population. The results show that the forestry policy implemented was able to generate a significant increase in the proportion of forest area. However, when this increase is mainly of the type of exotic forest plantations, it is associated with a demographic and socio-economic detriment of the population in some counties of the study area.

Ciudadanía Rural y Nueva Ruralidad: Impacto de las Modernizaciones en el Medio Rural de Chile

El cierre de la escuela rural y la integración social de familias en el contexto educativo urbano: un estudio de caso en la zona sur de Chile

RESUMEN Frente a los sucesivos cierres de escuelas rurales, se presenta un estudio cuyo objetivo es conocer su real dimension. Se presenta una caracterizacion estadistica de las escuelas basicas rurales cerradas en Chile entre el 2000 y 2016. Se analizo el numero de escuelas rurales en funcionamiento y cerradas a nivel nacional, regional, por dependencia administrativa, Indice de Vulnerabilidad Escolar y matricula. Los resultados muestran que los cierres no son hechos aislados, sino una tendencia que alcanza dimensiones preocupantes. La media del IVE de las escuelas cerradas muestra que los cierres afectan principalmente a la poblacion mas pobre. Desde estos resultados se interroga la politica educativa, su relacion con el debilitamiento de la educacion rural y sus consecuencias en las comunidades rurales.
