Abstract: COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new Coronavirus strain. Symptoms can include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. As a result of the novel Corona virus, the world is facing an alarming situation. Millions have been made to stay at home because of this pandemic. According to UNESCO, 290 million students worldwide may be infected by this virus spread, schools across the globe have already been suspended as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, teachers are suddenly faced with the challenge of how to continue their students’ education. In order to address this critical situation, educators have established an e-learning approach to the protection and comfort of students and online educational platforms are recognized by the Sri Lankan government. This platform should include multiple options for meeting practical teaching needs, such as synchronized video and voice for group learning and classroom interactions. In this study, we discussed the problems of e-learning and attempted to solve these problems. This is qualitative research in the form of a case study in primary schools in Sammanthuari. The key tool used in this study is the Questionnaire (Open-ended questionnaire) which includes 250 teachers in primary schools in Sammanthuari. In this research also uses Interview as an additional instrument, with five principals in charge of the school. The findings of the study show that teachers face immense difficulties in adapting classroom time, instructional resources and teaching skills to students. Teachers want the school district to set up new classrooms with internet services to defend from similar disasters in the future.
