Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate out more about impact of the Covid-19 outbreak on the educational system and collect data about it. Within the framework of a survey research design, quantitative and qualitative research approaches were applied in this research. Teachers out of several schools in the Colombo district constitute the study’s target population. The data for this study was collected using a questionnaire with focused on three main areas: (1) teachers’ understanding of the idea of online classrooms; (2) teachers’ perceptions of online classes; and (3) teachers’ perceptions of online classrooms. (2) Teachers’ perceptions of the benefits of integrating online activities in Sri Lankan schools, and (3) Teachers’ perceptions of the challenges and issues in implementing new practices in Sri Lankan schools. Frequencies and percentages were used to analyze the teachers’ responses to the survey. Despite the fact that the concept of online class practices is new to Sri Lankan teachers, the analysis revealed that they are aware of the concept and have positive perceptions of online class practices. They did believe that the use of online classes could have a number of advantages, including changing traditional teaching methods, providing up-to-date subject information, improving the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process, increasing students’ interest in learning, incorporating changes in the IT world, and developing teachers’ skills and attitudes to come to terms with major problems. As a result of this study, it is recommended that relevant stakeholders suggest suitable steps to create online classes and ensure their maximum being used in schools.
