Summary/Abstract: The scientific research framework and incentives for this research was the transition from classical education to the realisation of online education in elementary and secondary schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina caused by the announcement of the coronavirus pandemic. The aim of this research was to determine on the basis of the attitudes of elementary and secondary school students whether there is a statistically significant difference in the quality of school life in regular and online classes during the coronavirus pandemic. Research methods included the theoretical analysis and the descriptive and analytical survey method. Surveying was used as a research technique. The Quality of School Life Questionnaire (Ainley and Bourke 1992; Leonard, 2002) was used as a research instrument. The sample included in total 600 students (300 regular classes students and 300 online classes students). The sample of regular and online classes students consisted of each 150 elementary school students and 150 secondary school students. The research results have shown that students evaluated the quality of school life to be statistically better during regular classes than it was during online classes during the coronavirus pandemic in all subscales: the general enjoyment of school is bigger, there are less negative feelings about school, there is a better relationship towards teachers, there is a better social integrity of students, school is experienced to a greater extent as a preparation space for the future, higher school achievements are made and there is a better learning experience. In addition, the research results showed that elementary school students evaluated school life to be statistically of better quality than did secondary school students.
