    By resuming in-person classes, the document argues that several benefits could be achieved, such as improved access to education, bridging educational gaps, and positive impacts on students' well-being and future prospects. However, returning to face-to-face learning also carries risks, as it could increase COVID-19 transmission and lead to illness or death. Weighing these potential benefits and risks for most people involved is a complex decision that requires considering the balance between access to education and public health.

    Using the Utilitarian principle as a framework, the decision to implement face-to-face classes in

    the Philippines during the current pandemic situation involves weighing the potential benefits of
    improved access to education against the risks of increased COVID-19 infections. The
    argument in favor of face-to-face classes could be based on the belief that it would lead to the
    greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. By resuming in-person schooling, several
    potential benefits could be achieved. 

    According to inquirer.net, the Vice President and Education Secretary Sara Duterte, the opening
    of classes, which was “courageously made despite the challenges and fears brought by the
    COVID-19 pandemic,” is a “victory for basic education.” With an improved education access,
    this could help bridge educational gaps and provide equal opportunities for all students.
    Returning to school could also positively impact the students well-being, according to Lee J. on
    an article entitled, “Mental health effects of school closures during COVID-19”, shifting to online
    classes has increased burden on students’ mental
    health. Using too much technology can
    slow development and disrupt sleep patterns. Lastly, access to
    education is closely tied to socio-economic development. Ensuring students' education may
    lead to better future prospects, job opportunities, and economic growth for individuals and the
    nation as a whole. 

    However, agreeing to implement face to face classes would also be at risk, as one’s health must
    be prioritized at times like these. the argument against face-to-face classes is centered around
    the potential risks and pain it might cause. Resuming face to face classes carries the risk of
    COVID-19 transmission, which could lead to illness, hospitalization, and even death for
    students, teachers, and their families.

    To conclude, in applying the Utilitarian principle to this dilemma, one must assess the balance
    between the benefits and risks for the majority. There is no simple answer, as both choices
    involve trade-offs and potential consequences.
