At this time, 871% of the world's students are out of school.

This is according to the United Nations report of March 25.

That means 1.5 billion students are out of school in 165 countries around the world due to the coronavirus.

If you are one of those people who have been left without classes or if you are keen to learn something new in your free time, the internet is full of online courses in all areas of specialization.

Some are even taught by the best universities in the world and are free of charge, although most are exclusively in English and it is usual to have to pay to obtain an official certificate.

For this article we searched among the universities best rated this year by the two best-known rankings, QS and Times Higher Education (THE), and selected only the courses they offer for free in Spanish.

Below are the 24 courses available at five prestigious centers, covering topics as varied as business, mathematics and parenting, and including the most successful course in Yale history: The Science of Wellbeing.
