Abstract
This paper aims to explore parents' satisfaction and awareness towards online schooling efficiency using Saudi online learning platform (Madrasati) in the first three grades of primary schools during the COVID-19 pandemic and to potentially alternate face-to-face classroom learning post-pandemic. It focuses on the advantages and disadvantages. A survey-based questionnaire is used to collect data from 99 parents and a mixed-method of qualitative and quantitative is applied. The descriptive statistical method is used to analyse the data. The findings indicated that, however, this modality has disadvantages and is stressful for parents as their kids' progress relies heavily on their support; the parents and their kids generally had positive beliefs about online schooling and highly recommended the implementation of online learning after the pandemic. It is recommended for successful and efficient online schooling, the Ministry of Education policymakers should enhance and support online pedagogical methods, teachers' training courses, and appropriate curricula.
