Abstract

In 2022, a flood in Bangladesh shut down 5,000 schools, disrupting the education of 1.5 million students. The COVID-19 pandemic forced school closures across Asia for more than a year, causing significant learning losses and reducing students’ future earning potential. As disasters, conflicts, and other crises become more frequent and severe, education systems must develop strategies to minimize their impact. Building Resilience in Education Systems presents 13 chapters on strengthening education system resilience, written specifically for policy makers and practitioners. The book examines diverse contexts, the sources of school disruptions, and key lessons learned. Featuring insights from Asia, Africa, and Latin America, it underscores that while solutions will vary by country, every nation can leverage its resources to build a more resilient education system.
