WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, junto con 34 de sus colegas del Senado, renovaron hoy su presi\u00f3n para obtener una financiaci\u00f3n s\u00f3lida que los estudiantes de K-12 necesitan para tener una conectividad adecuada a Internet en casa si sus escuelas est\u00e1n cerradas debido a la actual pandemia de coronavirus.<\/p>\n

En su carta a los l\u00edderes de la C\u00e1mara y el Senado, los legisladores mencionaron su preocupaci\u00f3n por los recursos inadecuados para estos fines (a pesar de sus repetidos llamados a aumentar la financiaci\u00f3n) en los proyectos de ley de ayuda para el coronavirus reci\u00e9n aprobados por el Congreso.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLos ni\u00f1os sin conectividad corren el riesgo no solo de no poder completar sus tareas durante esta pandemia, sino tambi\u00e9n de no poder continuar su educaci\u00f3n en general\u201d. los senadores escribieron<\/b>. "El Congreso debe abordar esta cuesti\u00f3n proporcionando apoyo financiero espec\u00edficamente dedicado a ampliar el acceso a Internet en los hogares en el pr\u00f3ximo paquete de ayuda de emergencia para que ning\u00fan ni\u00f1o se quede atr\u00e1s en su educaci\u00f3n".<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Se ha estimado que casi un tercio de los hogares estadounidenses carecen de un acceso significativo a banda ancha y casi 12 millones de ni\u00f1os viven en hogares que carecen de conexi\u00f3n de banda ancha, lo que hace casi imposible acceder a lecciones de aprendizaje a distancia. Esta brecha digital es especialmente aguda para los estadounidenses de zonas rurales, las comunidades de color y las comunidades econ\u00f3micamente desfavorecidas.<\/p>\n

Para abordar adecuadamente este tema cr\u00edtico, los senadores solicitan espec\u00edficamente al menos $2 mil millones en fondos E-Rate para que escuelas y bibliotecas proporcionen puntos de acceso Wi-Fi u otros dispositivos con capacidad de Internet a estudiantes sin conectividad adecuada en sus hogares.<\/p>\n

La carta es la acci\u00f3n m\u00e1s reciente de una serie de medidas adoptadas por el senador Merkley para ampliar el acceso confiable a la banda ancha durante la crisis del coronavirus. Anteriormente, el senador envi\u00f3 cartas a los directores ejecutivos de los principales proveedores de servicios de Internet<\/a> pedir a las empresas que suspendan las pol\u00edticas que limitan el acceso de los estadounidenses a Internet, y ha abogado por protecciones contra cortes de electricidad e Internet.<\/a><\/p>\n

Al senador Merkley se unieron en la carta los senadores Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Brian Schatz (D-HI), Kamala Harris (D-CA). ), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Dick Durbin (D-IL), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Angus King (I-ME), Bob Casey, Jr. (D-PA), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Jack Reed (D-RI), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Chris Coons (D-DE) , Cory Booker (D-NJ), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Tom Carper (D-DE), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Robert Men\u00e9ndez (D-NJ), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Tom Udall (D-UT), Tina Smith (D-MN) y Dianne Feinstein (D-CA).<\/p>\n

###<\/p>\n

Estimados l\u00edderes McConnell, presidenta Pelosi, l\u00edderes Schumer y l\u00edderes McCarthy:<\/p>\n

Le escribimos para expresar nuestra decepci\u00f3n por la falta de fondos dedicados a la educaci\u00f3n a distancia en el tercer paquete de ayuda para el coronavirus que aprob\u00f3 recientemente el Congreso. Hemos pedido repetidamente fondos concretos para ayudar a garantizar que todos los estudiantes K-12 tengan una conectividad adecuada a Internet en casa si sus escuelas cierran debido a la pandemia en curso. Creemos que el Congreso debe proporcionar recursos s\u00f3lidos para estos fines, a fin de garantizar que todos los ni\u00f1os puedan continuar su educaci\u00f3n durante la actual emergencia de salud p\u00fablica. Solicitamos que el pr\u00f3ximo paquete de ayuda para el coronavirus incluya al menos $2 mil millones en fondos E-Rate para que escuelas y bibliotecas proporcionen puntos de acceso Wi-Fi u otros dispositivos con capacidad Wi-Fi a estudiantes sin conectividad adecuada en sus hogares.<\/p>\n

La pandemia de coronavirus ha arrojado luz sobre la \u201cbrecha en las tareas\u201d que experimentan los 12 millones de estudiantes en este pa\u00eds que no tienen acceso a Internet en casa y no pueden completar sus tareas, en un momento en que m\u00e1s de 70% de educadores asignan tareas escolares. que requiere acceso a Internet. Las investigaciones han demostrado que la brecha en las tareas escolares afecta a los estudiantes tanto en \u00e1reas rurales como urbanas y afecta desproporcionadamente a los estudiantes de bajos ingresos y de color. Los estudiantes sin acceso a Internet en casa obtienen consistentemente calificaciones m\u00e1s bajas en lectura, matem\u00e1ticas y ciencias.<\/p>\n

Estamos muy preocupados de que esta desigualdad existente solo se vea exacerbada por la gran cantidad de escuelas que est\u00e1n suspendiendo las clases presenciales y han hecho la transici\u00f3n al aprendizaje remoto a trav\u00e9s de Internet para proteger la salud de los estudiantes, profesores y personal. Los ni\u00f1os sin conectividad corren el riesgo no solo de no poder completar sus tareas durante esta pandemia, sino tambi\u00e9n de no poder continuar su educaci\u00f3n en general. El Congreso debe abordar esta cuesti\u00f3n brindando apoyo financiero espec\u00edficamente dedicado a ampliar el acceso a Internet en los hogares en el pr\u00f3ximo paquete de ayuda de emergencia para que ning\u00fan ni\u00f1o se quede atr\u00e1s en su educaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Creemos que proporcionar fondos al programa E-Rate es la mejor manera de ayudar a los estudiantes a continuar su educaci\u00f3n en casa. El programa E-Rate es, y ha sido durante m\u00e1s de dos d\u00e9cadas, una fuente esencial de financiaci\u00f3n para conectar las escuelas y bibliotecas del pa\u00eds a Internet. A medida que se desarrolla la pandemia de coronavirus 2, este programa ofrece una soluci\u00f3n inmediata que puede ayudar a mitigar el impacto en nuestras familias m\u00e1s vulnerables. Creemos que fondos adicionales para E-Rate reducir\u00edan en gran medida la brecha de tareas durante la crisis actual y ayudar\u00edan a garantizar que todos los estudiantes puedan continuar aprendiendo.<\/p>\n

El Congreso debe actuar a la luz de la perturbaci\u00f3n sin precedentes que el coronavirus ha creado para nuestro sistema educativo. Debemos trabajar ahora para cerrar la brecha de tareas y garantizar que todos los estudiantes que necesitan acceso a Internet tengan la conectividad que necesitan para continuar aprendiendo desde casa.<\/p>\n

Gracias por su atenci\u00f3n a este importante asunto. Debido al cierre de muchas oficinas del Senado durante el brote de coronavirus, las firmas f\u00edsicas no est\u00e1n disponibles. Los senadores enumerados han pedido ser signatarios de esta carta.<\/p>\n
