Recent studies have pointed out that during lockdown, teachers have suffered burnout from having to adapt (in record time) in order to provide online classes (Besser et al., 2020) and also according to some studies, stress levels were already high among teachers before the onset of the pandemic (Hadi et al., 2009; Teles et al., 2020). They should be a better position to put in place the relevant educational jobs in regard to coping with the return to school during this pandemic. It will have effects in a wide open space that the higher level of stress on teacher-training staff means the less effective learning environment. This affects the ability to effectively teach and support students, and furthermore leads to the entire community having educational deficiencies in various subjects. Hence , the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the emotional well-being of teachers is a major challenge that needs to be tackled by both the public-nonpublic educational community and the entire society.
