ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study aims to explore the influence for schools, teachers, and students of the full implementation of the distance education model in schools during the COVID-19 outbreak. The study drew three main findings from the exploratory qualitative research: Students' learning abilities and perceptions of independent learning significantly impact distance education quality. Teachers' pedagogical perceptions influence students' adaptability to distance education. Societal bias against distance education influences student and faculty attitudes toward distance education. This study will also suggest responses in three areas: schools, teachers, and students. Our research concludes with a theoretical and managerial discussion.
