The role of education is vital, not only as an individual right, but also as a key fact in social

strength, weaknesses, opportunities, and challenges (SWOC) among secondary students
during the pandemic period; and recommending policies for implementing e-learning in
the future. Data for the research was collected through the primary and secondary data
collection methods. The finding of this study is that, the strength of an interest can be seen

present in facing the (term) examination (4.40) after the school reopens. An opportunity to
revise their previous lessons. Challenges: the highest mean value among other factors
