During COVID 19 lockdown, there had been a tremendous shift toward online education. Parents, teachers and students no one was prepared enough to cope up with the trend of online education. Being a mediator and facilitator, parents play a significant role in education of students especially at school level. Teachers are not able to observe the students directly so they depend upon parents to assess students learning. The present study is aimed to study attitude of parents toward online education. An online survey was administered on 289 parents to assess their attitude towards online education. A majority of parents found dissatisfied with the online classes taking place and believe that it is not working for them. It is observed that there is no significant difference between the attitude of urban and rural parents regarding online education. These findings help in strengthening the process of online education. The current study addresses the role and views of parents about online education that can assist policy maker to update the curriculum, assessment techniques and policies regarding online education.
