domains; 1-students’ computer competence, 2-teacher computer competence, 3-
quality of teaching and learning, 4-meeting students’ needs through the curriculum, 5-school environment, and
6-
students’ personal development. The secondary data was from data
and survey findings from published by academicians focus on parents’
perception, difference and choice in selecting private or public institutions,
implications on quality of education. To measure the reliability of the study
tool; test – retest was used. The scale was re-tested with (175) parents after
two weeks from the 1st test. By using Spearman-Brown formula α = (0.9) which is

The results showed that parents’ satisfaction was
moderate with teacher computer competence whereas they are highly satisfied
with student computer competence. The students’ personal development, meeting
students’ needs through curriculum, quality of teaching and learning all these
domains showed parents’ low satisfaction as per the results.

and concludes that significant difference exist in parents’ perception of
e-learning in Abu Dhabi between public and private schools. Results showed as
well e-learning can improve the quality of students learning according to
parents’ perception through providing them wide variety accessibility of
learning materials. The students are not limited or restricted in any manner,
regarding course materials, availability of faculty members, accessibility, and
time related issues. They can use and access learning materials 24*7 without
any restriction of time or physical barrier. The teachers, professionals and
experts are available at one click. It has also identified that students often
