Ethics in Education challenged during COVID-19 Pandemic

The coronavirus of 2019 (COVID-19), heavily impacted the world owing to its high transmissibility spreading to 114 countries, infecting 118,000 people within 3 months (WHO, 2020b). According to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), COVID-19 is a pandemic that has affected the world’s education system (UNESCO, 2020b).
