Abstract: The Covid-19 pandemic forced educational institutions to shut down. Just like a damsel in distress, the educational system needed a knight in shining armor, and so online learning comes to the rescue. Online learning rescued many countries from academic freeze during this global pandemic. This present study will explore the perception and challenges of student-parents in online learning during this global pandemic. Perspectives and challenges were also examined in terms gender. Lastly, it is also explored if there is a relationship between the student-parent’s perspectives and challenges. Results shows that student-parents have neither positive or negative perception about online learning and that they experience moderate challenges in this learning setup. However, comparing the means between males and females, it is revealed that females are more challenge with this online learning set-up than males with a mean difference of 0.28. In terms of relationship between the student-parents’ perspectives and challenges of online learning, the results revealed that respondents’ challenges of online learning do not have association with their perspectives.
