The Challenge
Educational institutions with all its types are encountering the dilemma of either to run the educational process to its full capacity and maintain the same dose of knowledge and information delivered to students and participants or to apply the measures announced by the Health authorities and governments to reduce the possibility of the H1N1 virus transmission among students and participants. Amongst these measures were school closure, reducing the school day’s time and period’s duration, operating the schools in a Multi-shifts basis, restructure the syllabus to mesh with the limited duration within which the students will be available at school.

However, the announced measures may be effective in reducing the impact of the H1N1 influenza pandemic, these measures have inevitable negative economic and social impacts such as the significantly decrease in the GDP resulting from teacher unemployment – in case of school closure - and reducing the educational sector output - . School closure or decreasing the number of school days for students will lead to the emergence of a new phenomenon, which is, guardians absenteeism to stay home to take care of their children.
