Premier League players have been forced to remain indoors since March after the league was suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic in the UK. England has been one of the worst-hit countries with more than 287,000 UK citizens testing positive for COVID-19 in recent months with the death count crossing the 40,000 mark as of Tuesday, June 9, 2020. Amidst all this uncertainty, BBC Bitesize has come up with an innovative idea to keep kids at home occupied while also ensuring that they get their daily dose of education. Manchester City star Sergio Aguero decided to join the project with Sergio Aguero Spanish lessons now being featured as a highlight in the program.

BBC Bitesize has come up with an interesting initiative in order to educate the children while following social distancing rules and regulations as laid out by the British government. Manchester City's record goalscorer will be teaching kids in years one and two to count till 12 in Spanish during the lockdown. Children in years three and four will be taught a wider range of Spanish words involving daily activities, family, and pets. When speaking about the initiative, Sergio Aguero was quoted as saying, "It's a tough time for children at the moment, and also for parents trying to keep them focused on their education from home. The BBC are doing brilliant work to help, and I'm honoured to be able to play a part."
