Background: Psychosocial resilience in the education system is the ability to cope with crises such as war, natural disasters, and epidemics that threaten learning and mental health. This study was designed to identify effective factors and provide solutions to promote Iran's educational resilience in post-war conditions.
Methods: This qualitative study was conducted using the focus group discussion (FGD) method and the participation of faculty members, officials, and senior experts in the fields of education and health at the Academy of Medical Sciences. Data were collected through recording and note-taking, then transcribed and coded. Content analysis led to the identification of main themes. For validation, participant review, multidisciplinary analysis, and comparison with related documents were used.
Results: Analysis of data from the focus group discussion led to the extraction of five key axes for promoting the resilience of the education system in post-conflict conditions: educational management and policymaking with an emphasis on national coordination; human resources and capacity building, including teacher training and retraining; educational infrastructure and facilities through reconstruction and use of technology; psychosocial support for students, teachers, and families; and social participation and cohesion to strengthen trust and solidarity. These axes provide a comprehensive picture of the multi-layered dimensions of educational resilience.
Conclusion: The resilience of the education system in post-conflict conditions goes beyond physical reconstruction and includes coordinated management, capable human resources, resilient infrastructure, psychosocial support, and community participation. The implementation of these components ensures the continuity of learning, strengthens social capital, and rebuilds public trust. |
