Abstract
The disruption of young people's education during the COVID-19 pandemic has been extensive and will likely have profound long-term consequences. Learners' educational attainment and progress have been negatively affected, as have their social and emotional development. School closures have also raised challenges for the most vulnerable and marginalised, worsening existing disparities within the unequal South African education system. In this article, we investigate TDP learners' perceptions of educator support, home support and their psychosocial well-being during school closures. While, as a group, these learners are not nationally representative, their responses provide us with some insights into educational interactions and well-being during 2020.-
