Pathways to Resilience in Risk-Laden Environments: A Case Study of Syrian Refugee Education in Lebanon by Oula Abu-Amsha and Jill Armstrong What it means to be resilient and make resilient choices takes a variety of forms for students and families affected by conflict. For refugees, making resilient decisions regarding education may mean sending children to school, but it could also mean keeping them home to work or to avoid threatening or exclusionary school environments. JEiE's Claudia Segura and author Oula Abu-Amsha delve into these hard choices and the ways the Jusoor School, an NGO created to bridge the non-formal and formal education sectors in Lebanon, serves as a space for students whose educational pathway calls for a new type of school.
