Its population was projected at about 17.9 million in early 2022 (Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos [INEC], 2022). The majority of the population, approximately 11,200,000, lived in urban areas in 2020, while 6,300,000 lived in rural areas (INEC, 2018) . About 28% of Ecuadorians are under the age of 15, and 65% fall within the age range of 15-65 (Barros, 2019) . Women outnumbered men by about 200,000 in 2020 (INEC, 2018) .  \nAs socio-culturally diverse as it is biodiverse, Ecuador has historically faced complex inequalities along regional, rural-urban, ethnic, and class lines (Radcliffe, 2018) . While national policies that aim at promoting and supporting indigenous ways of living, such as Buen Vivir, have undertaken to address these issues through their commitment to the Sustainable Development goals (Radcliffe, 2018), the year leading up to the 2020 pandemic was politically turbulent. When President Lenín Moreno took measures to limit fuel subsidies in October, 2019, indigenous communities faced disproportionately negative effects on a major source of their income. Soon, transport strikes, street-obstructing paros, and protests by students, teachers, and indigenous leaders put the nation on hold (España, 2019). After two weeks, the government reached an agreement with the Confederación de Nacionalidades Indígenas de Ecuador (CONAIE) to return fuel subsidies, and protests died down (Cabrera, 2019). These political tensions heightened national awareness about the economic plight of indigenous communities and increasing poverty and inequality in the nation, especially in the large informal sector. COVID-19 would further expose these inequalities.  \nEcuador’s education system  \nThe mission of Ecuador’s national Ministry of Education (Ministerio de Educación [MINEDUC]) is to guarantee education between the ages of 3 and 17 to those living in the country (Ministerio de Telecomunicaciones [MINTEL], 2022) . Educational levels consist of initial or inicial (3-5), basic or educación general básica (6-11), and high school or bachillerato (12-17), all of which are compulsory. The school system and higher education system function separately (personal communication, August 25, 2021) .  \nEcuador's student population during the 2019-2020 school year was 4,407,030 (Estadísticaseducativas-Datos Abiertos, n.d ) . The pre-primary enrollment rate prior to COVID-19 was 62.45%, the primary was 90.94%, the secondary was 84.67%, and the enrollment of people ages 18-22 in tertiary education was 44.89%(UNESCO, 2017) . Furthermore, there is a slightly higher enrollment ratio for girls than boys at all levels. In 2017, the public sector educated 67.6% of Ecuador’s students in 1st grade through high school, while the remaining 34.2% attended private, nonprofit, or parochial schools. By 2021, 78% of Ecuador’s students were enrolled in public schools (personal communication, August 25, 2021). At the university level, 56.7% attend public institutions, and the rest attend private  \n© 2022, Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

In Ecuador, 28.4% of students following the Intercultural Bilingual Education model (IBE) live in urban areas, while the remaining 71.6% are rural, making up over 143,000 bilingual students. Of the 4,260,688 non-IBE students, 77.8% are urban and 22.2% are rural (Educar Ecuador, 2020) .
