This study investigated the opportunities and challenges of E-learning associated with its implementation. In this qualitative study, a total of 32 participants were selected through purposive sampling (24 students participated in a focused group with mixed grouping—six from class 9 and six from class 10, and 8 teachers for one-on-one interview – 4 from each school). The study also analysed lesson plans and observed classes for e-tools and resources integrated in teaching and learning. The qualitative data were analysed thematically using Creswell’s (2012) six-stage approach.

The findings showed that although both students and teachers are optimistic about the opportunities of E-learning, it was challenging to take advantage of it yet because of the lack of facilities, network coverage, costly devices and data, and lack of training and support.

The study recommends considerable improvement in the infrastructure and internet facilities in schools. The findings also demonstrate the importance of collaboration among teachers, parents, and administrators in successful implementation of E-learning.
