The outbreak of Omicron, the new variant in the Covid-19 pandemic, is a further challenge that concerns not only a difficult health situation or a complex socio-economic framework, but also the role of Education, regarding secondary school, vocational education training institutes, and university students around the world, without forgetting all those who live the community dimension of the campus and, therefore, with a specific risk of infection.
