Resilience in Higher Education: The South African Experience

Abstract

Resilience in Higher Education: The South African Experience offers a timely, thoughtful, and necessary scholarly response to these realities. The volume acknowledges that the pressures facing South African Higher Education institutions (HEIs), such as student poverty and food insecurity, mental health challenges, level of preparedness, and funding instability, cannot be addressed solely through individual effort. Instead, the book positions resilience as a collective, systemic undertaking that must be deliberately cultivated through teaching and learning practices, institutional structures, and supportive academic cultures.
