The purpose of this study is to investigate the experiences of mothers whose children have benefited from virtual education during the corona. The research method is qualitative and phenomenological. The study population is all mothers with primary school children in Tehran. 18 of these mothers participated in the study by purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used to examine the mothers' lived experience and data analysis was performed by thematic content analysis. The research findings were obtained in four categories: online education challenges (economic, infrastructure and family), disadvantages of online education (technology, education and psychology), advantages of virtual education (family, individual) and solutions (interactive and educational). The results showed that virtual education does not have the necessary infrastructure for complete and appropriate education and it is better to provide appropriate solutions and contexts for this type of education and to benefit families in promoting education.
