Introduction: Health-related quality of life refers to the individuals’ perception of the condition of their lives in the face of illness and the consequences and treatments related to it. As adolescence is a phase of identity construction, it can provide experiences that lead to risky behaviors. Objective: To highlight the importance of health education for the return to face-to-face classes of adolescents in COVID 19 pandemic times. This is an integrative literature review. The data search took place on Google Scholar using the descriptors: “Health at School”, “School Health Program” and “School and COVID-19”. Method: The inclusion criteria are primary studies, published from January 2019 to July 2022, only in Portuguese. Results: The studies analyzed aim, in general terms, to evaluate the role of reopening schools and preventive strategies to reduce the risks of community transmission of COVID 19 in the school environment. Public policies have the task of balancing the pros and cons of the strategy of reopening schools, considering the psychological, educational and social consequences for children and their families. Conclusions: We consider that the number of publications related to health education measures for the return of face-to-face classes is still insufficient. Thus, new research must be carried out to serve as a safe reference for the realization and maintenance of the return to face-to-face classes with effectiveness and safety.
