After the rapid spread of the Covid-19 epidemic all over the world, the World Health Organization declared the process as a pandemic by investigating the risk map of the outbreak. Following the declaration of the pandemic, measures in Turkey started primarily in the field of education. The lessons, which took place in an interactive classroom with the student-teacher cooperation in the traditional educational approach, were now held remotely on the online digital platform with the Covid-19 epidemic. In the study, a solution was investigated concerning the question of how class differences affect equality of opportunity in education during the period of distance education. In this context, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 16 students attending a public school and 16 students attending a private school in Denizli, totaling 32 students. Bourdieu's concepts of "field, capital and habitus" are employed while trying to understand the problems faced by high school students in private and public schools from different socioeconomic classes, tracing back to their own discourse. Some fundamental sociological questions have been decisive in the emergence of the study. They can be listed as the question of how the inequalities in education have evolved with distance education, how distance education affects the success of students from different socioeconomic structures, what are the experiences of the students about the process and what are their concerns about the future.Within the scope of the study students from families with a low socioeconomic level stated that they encountered some problems that would prevent them from attending classes at home, and that their families were insufficient to support them in this regard. The most basic problems they have with their participation in the distance education process at home are that their families are crowded and they have to live in one room, especially in the winter months, so they try listening to the lessons and preparing for the exams in a noisy environment, and in families where the guest culture continues, the guests, as well as the household members are offered refreshments, especially by girls, and some of the participants have to look after the ailing relatives or help their families in the field.
