The pandemic COVID 19 had resulted in the lockdown of the entire world. With different parts of the world indulging in different phases of lockdown, many sectors of the economy suffered a huge setback. One such sector was the education. The schools were the first to close, owing the danger of the spread of the disease. But the boon for the classes came in the form of use of video conferencing apps like Zoom, Google meetings, cisco WebEx etc. Some schools used to send the videos that they shoot to the parents. This way it was ensured that the pedagogy and learning was not affected in any way. But the entire problem of how effective was the online learning is seen from a parent’s perspective as it was their onus. This research article based on a qualitative thematic analysis takes the views of the parents of school going children in the form of semi structures interviews conducted amongst seven parents and the challenges that they are facing due the online classes. The scope for the further studies has also been dealt with.
