Popis: This study examined the effect of e-learning compared to traditional education on student achievement and satisfaction, and to find out if COVID-19 is the first step for creating a society without a school, an online survey was conducted. The study sample consisted of 125 Palestinian bachelor’s degree students from different universities in the Republic of China and the Arab Gulf states. The study took place during the first half of the pandemic’s academic year, from the end of February to the end of August. 2020. The findings revealed that there are no statistically significant differences between the E-learning and traditional learning concerning students’ achievement based demographic variables (university years and scientific specialization), and the student’s satisfaction variable from (teaching staff style, educational programs provided, and quality). The study indicated that e-learning has proven its feasibility during the pandemic, so it should not be excluded and underestimated. Some third world societies still prefer traditional education, but e-learning should be a permanent option that is not limited to times of crisis; Educational institutions should recognize e-learning as a fait accompli, as is the case in many developed countries. This study recommended the necessity of recognizing e-learning and enhancing this style of study by allocating specific budgets and specialized technical and educational cadres. It also recommended adopting a hybrid education pattern by integrating e-learning and F2F education.
