Munnaza Anwar; Mushtaque Ahmed Ansari; Kamal Ahmed Soomro
Journal of Education and Educational Development, v11 n1 p172-191 2024
Online education presents itself as an option that can yield benefits for developing countries like Pakistan. The education sector of Pakistan was greatly affected due to the pandemic that forced the schools' operation to be run online like many other businesses and industries which provided the researchers and policy makers with a chance to study the possibilities associated with online education in the Pakistani context. This study focuses on researching the effects this transition had on parents by measuring their satisfaction levels. The instrument used to collect quantitative data for this study includes categories, school-level technological support, schoollevel instructional support, curricular programs, social interaction and overall satisfaction with the online education. Differences of parental satisfaction in these categories and the factors that influence them such as school fee, educational levels of parents and number of enrolled children per family have been studied. The findings revealed that parents are satisfied given the challenges and hurdles that schools have faced transitioning from on-campus to online education. A few significant differences were found between number of children enrolled in online education and parental satisfaction with technological support as well as social interaction. Significant differences were also found between school fee and parental satisfaction with curricular programs. These findings provide us with future directions for further research in the direction of integrating online education in Pakistani school setting.
