Abstract
The spread of Covid -19 pandemic has put everything on standstill. The education sector has faced major challenges to cope up with the sudden shift from on campus teaching to online and virtual teaching. Unfortunately for this sudden shift of educational process, the teachers, families, and students were not prepared. It is the time to test the effectiveness of the online modes of teaching and learning with respect to the learning outcome and learning satisfaction of the children and their parents too. The role of parents to engage and assist their children at various levels of online education was most significant and challenging. The objective of this study was to explore the experiences of parents whose children were attending online classes during covid-19 pandemic. Descriptive survey method was used to explore the experiences of the parents and the data was collected through the self-constructed close ended questionnaires. Two villages for this study were randomly selected from district of Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab. The sample of 140 participants was selected with purposive sampling technique. The data collected with the help of two questionnaires was analysed with percentage analysis. The results of the study showed that there were majority of the parents who have found it difficult to help and assist their children because it was not only the challenge regarding their financial conditions but also they were worried about the future of their children.
