During the Covid-19 lockdown, the government implemented the e-learning system for the first time in public universities. The aim of this research is to do a case study research on the obstacles and challenges of e-learning implementation in public universities. This research tried to collect data through questionnaires and interviews among 96 participants (Bachelor students and lecturers) from Kabul, Parwan, Kunduz, Takhar, Ghor and Samangan universities. According to this research, 53.1% of participants were satisfied with e-learning implementation. Of course, some issues and challenges were coming up after involving the students and lecturers using the e-learning platforms. Therefore, this paper will take a look at the common obstacles and opportunities for using e-learning platforms in public universities in Afghanistan.
