| Summary: | This Education Note concerns education
systems in countries at all levels of development
increasingly need to manage the challenges of crisis,
conflict, and violence. For more than 40 years, research
into resilience has sought to understand how positive
outcomes, such as mental and physical health, positive
interpersonal relations, socially acceptable behavior,
academic success, etc., can result across a wide range of
adverse conditions. In the field of education, resilience
studies provide evidence that many students succeed
academically despite adverse economic conditions,
homelessness and transitory situations, violence, and
conflict-affected social exclusion. Resilience matters in
education because learning and school success are not only
possible in spite of adversity, but also education can be
the vehicle to overcome it. |
