In Mexico, the return to school activities is seen in terms of a new normal with the start of the 2020-2021 school year, this in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic that continues without knowing its end period. This research compares the level of preparation and training, as well as the support received, the difficulties and the satisfaction of teachers in the rural and urban context prior to resuming school work remotely 1954 teachers from 14 different states of the country participated. The results indicate that although the national strategy Aprende en Casa presents coverage and is attractive, the conditions of rural areas have forced teachers to modify the strategy by offering specific support to students in rural areas, showing the differences in the conditions in which it is taught by educational contexts. In this sense, it is concluded that the increase in working time in the adaptation of teaching materials in teachers and the development of skills for independent study by students have been marked as the main concerns in both contexts, beyond the provision of technological devices, which from the beginning have been insufficient.
