Abstract

We are living through unprecedented times and times which will test our leadership capacities at all levels of the system to the full. This crisis needs to be understood from a global perspective and within broader social parameters – the quest for social justice, amongst other imperatives. Over 1,383 million children and young people (CYP) world-wide were affected by school closures in May 2020 (UNICEF Office of Research, 2020c) with over 90% not in attendance at school in early spring (Lee, 2020), heightening inequalities and disrupting the social relationships of CYP (Armitage & Nellums; Editor, 2020b; Van Lancker & Parolin, 2020).
