Information and Communication Technology [ICT] has affected many sectors during the Covid-19 pandemic. The education sector has also experienced significant changes, especially in the change in school culture in the post-covid-19 era in the use of ICT for learning. This study aims to explore changes in school culture in the use of ICT for learning, which is reviewed based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology [UTAUT] model, from the point of view of Vice Principals [VP]. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach to define the vice principals' response to the new school culture in the post-Covid-19 pandemic, due to the implementation of the distance learning policy during the Covid-19 pandemic by the Indonesian government. The informants of this study consisted of 260 vice-principals of Junior High Schools in Mojokerto Regency and City, East Java, Indonesia. The stages of data analysis are to do data reduction, determine themes, explore engagement between themes, and make conclusions. This study concludes that there is a new school culture in the post-Covid-19 pandemic where all school residents, teachers, students, and school leaders are accustomed to using technology to support learning in schools. The new culture created due to the Covid-19 pandemic is not fully implemented by all schools, but most schools have a new culture in the use of ICT for learning, especially the use of educational platforms that support the process of achieving competence by students. Schools with a high culture of innovation for all school members tend to have high acceptance and use of technology in every learning carried out by students. Furthermore, parents who have forward-thinking, and have a high tendency to accept and use technology, encourage their children to take part in learning on educational platforms. The new school culture positively impacts needs in schools and the need for learning loss if this new culture is widespread and has reached all levels of education in Indonesia. © 2022 Little Lion Scientific.
