The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a new way of imparting education which has become extremely popular. Educational institutions started taking classes, giving notes, and taking exams online using mediums like Google Meet, Zoom, WhatsApp, etc. This paper examines the effectiveness of this new technique of learning called e-learning based on the perceptions of the parents. It is a quantitative descriptive research in which a questionnaire survey method was employed. A total of hundred parents were selected and asked to fill out a form circulated online through a google form. The results obtained from the analysis conclude that online learning system conducted during the pandemic was helpful but it was no substitute for offline learning. The new method of learning also posed a burden to the lowincome parents and created a learning divide between students attending government and private schools.
