Abstract: This study investigates the impact of the current economic downturn on the education of institutionalized children in Sri Lanka. Findings reveal resource constraints leading to limited access to educational materials and overcrowded classrooms, resulting in a decline in academic performance. Coping mechanisms, such as collaborative community initiatives and holistic development programs, mitigate challenges. The perspectives of institutionalized children emphasize the need for personalized support and the significance of extracurricular activities. Implications for policy and practice underscore the importance of resource allocation, community engagement, and holistic development for this vulnerable demographic.
