Abstract: | In the midst of a global pandemic, policy makers in the education sector face a complex dilemma regarding the reopening of schools, closed around the world as an initial public health measure. The authors propose the use of an ethical strategy—the Eight Key Questions—to clarify the issues involved in decision-making. While every context is unique, the adoption of this investigative process and ethical litmus test may help clarify the trade-offs in health, education, protection, social services, economic productivity and the best interests of the child. |
