Abstract: During the Covid-19 pandemic, educational institutions worldwide continued to operate through online education. The present study investigates the way in which parents from a prefecture of western Greece that includes urban, semi-urban and rural population, faced the new form of educational process. Through a questionnaire and group interviews, parents shared their views concerning online education and emergency remote teaching. The participants are parents to children who attend primary and lower secondary education. The parents stated that their children faced had difficulties during distance education. Moreover, they felt the need to intervene in order to help their children in this new way of education. More specifically, the parents of the present study point out that 1) in order for emergency remote teaching to be able to offer learning, a comprehensive training of teachers and proper planning of schools is necessary, 2) it is necessary to limit the offered courses in the online program and 3) education in physical environments is of great value and is irreplaceable.
