Special issue information:
Prolonged education disruptions due to disasters, violent conflicts, and health crises can lead to permanent learning losses and increased student dropout rates that significantly undermine lifetime earning capacity and broader economic development. As education disruptions are likely to become more frequent and severe due to factors such as climate change and pandemic threats, effective strategies for building resilient education systems are urgently needed to ensure that learning can continue in the face of shocks, students and educators receive adequate mental health and social services, and post-disruption planning is in place to facilitate rapid learning loss recovery.
