Abstract

The objective of this article consisted of following up on the methodology applied by Pacheco (2021) to know the situation in which the infrastructure of educational institutions of the preschool level was found, although on this occasion 17 elementary schools located in the central area of ​​the country (Mexico City, Hidalgo, Querétaro and Tlaxcala). For this, a quantitative study was carried out, as well as a qualitative one with photographic support, physical survey of specific data of each campus, as well as analysis of the indicators of the Ministry of Public Education (SEP). The questions that guided this study were the following: 1) Is the number of teachers available enough to provide a quality education to the entire student population? 2) Is the physical infrastructure of the schools suitable for the age of its users? 3) Do the physical spaces used for academic activities meet the basic requirements to develop them effectively? And 4) Do educational establishments have adequate infrastructure conditions to operate safely in the midst of the current situation generated by the covid-19 pandemic? The results show the general deficiencies of the schools examined in terms of ventilation, lighting, furniture and hydrosanitary resources. In conclusion, it can be indicated that this scenario, in the midst of the current emergency generated by covid-19, makes it difficult to return to face-to-face classes, since the schools need to comply with a minimum of biosafety conditions to carry out the process successfully educational.
