The covid-19 pandemic is labelled as a worldwide health concern, chiefly impacting the process of education. E-learning becomes a significant substitute to reform and restructure the whole traditional learning system. With that being said, teachers and students are required to change their learning and teaching methods, related manners and behaviours, evaluation methods, or more of the same. This learning-based reform creates numerous benefits to the education process. However, these reforms still cause frustrations and tensions among both the teaching activities’ beneficiaries and the actors of the education process. The current study aims to analyse the perspectives of the students on the classroom education acquired through distance learning amid the lockdown period of the covid-19 pandemic. The results of the study show that students have a positive perception of using e-learning and thus accept this new learning system in schools and universities. Empirically, the results of the study demonstrate that e-learning is a significant choice of learning at the level covid-19 crisis and other crises in the future. The current research paper’s results give a hand in facilitating the mission of the educational institutions and policymakers so that this online-learning process is appropriately taken to the next level.
