Abstract

All children require psychosocial services that are provided by several caregivers. Provision of equal educational opportunities for children remains a global challenge despite concerted efforts from organisations such as the United Nations. However, these efforts are continuously undermined by numerous factors such as natural disasters, political instability, civil wars, among others. Admittedly, adverse effects of these factors are mainly felt in underdeveloped or developing countries which are mainly found in Africa. This chapter therefore seeks to show that all children regardless of their social background require a safety net especially under the new era of COVID-19 pandemic. The ecological systems theory will be discussed. Factors that cause vulnerability in Africa, Asia, and other continents will be explored as well. To add more, the South African context on vulnerable children will be explained in detail taking into account factors that place children in vulnerable positions. The last segment of the chapter focuses on solutions and recommendations.
