The COVID-19 virus has been recognised as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). To prevent the increased number of widespread of this virus, virtual learning has been introduced and practised at the school and university level. This virtual learning also affects the orphans and vulnerable adolescents who live at orphanages. Therefore, this study aims to examine the quality of education and performance of the orphans and vulnerable adolescents as students in Pahang orphanages. Besides, this study aims to determine the factors that affect their performance in fostering education quality. Data were collected through literatures search on virtual learning, orphans and vulnerable adolescents at orphanages during COVID-19. The core journals in virtual learning show various measurements for quality of education. Yet, the quality of education provision for orphans and vulnerable adolescents in the time of COVID-19 at orphanages still needs to be considered by measuring using (i) student factor, (ii) orphanage environment, (iii) facilities at orphanages and (iv) guardians and community involvement. The outcome of this study will provide an insight into the education quality in orphanages by highlighting their performance and its indicators. The findings could also help policymakers review the orphans and vulnerable adolescents’ status to preserve social justice, particularly among children who live at orphanages.
