Online education at the secondary level encounters significant challenges, particularly in underprivileged regions, where limited access to technology and reliable internet exacerbates disparities in learning opportunities. Additionally, issues such as low student engagement and difficulties in sustaining motivation within remote learning environments further complicate the effectiveness of online education. This study was conducted to explore the perceptions of students regarding these issues at the secondary level. A sample of 276 students was randomly selected from Government High Schools in Lakki Marwat. A descriptive survey methodology was employed for this study, utilizing a self-developed questionnaire to gather data from the participants. The instrument's reliability was verified using Cronbach's Alpha to ensure internal consistency. The collected data was then processed and analysed with descriptive tabulation applied to interpret the results. The findings indicate that while online education presents significant opportunities to address contemporary challenges in the educational field, it also highlights critical areas for improvement to enhance its effectiveness and accessibility.
