The pandemic has forced governments to implement emergent actions to help the population return to their "normal" activities, such as returning to face-to-face school activities. In this work, it was sought to determine the need, or not, of a synergy between educational authorities and the student population that allows students to return to face-to-face classes at the basic and intermediate levels. A contextual review of the pandemic caused by COVID-19 was carried out in relation to the possibilities of safe return to classes in Mexico, and the features that configure a "Human Ethical Profile" (HEP), derived from the "ethics of care", were analyzed to contrast them with government actions. The foregoing, through a documentary review in the official media of the Ministry of Health, to know the behavior of the epidemiological traffic light regarding the institutional actions used by the Mexican government and the population response in terms of prevention measures. As a result, it was obtained that both the HEP and the minimum ethics, are essential requirements to achieve mutual care derived from actions between the government and citizen spheres for a safe return to face-to-face classes.
