Academic resilience is crucial for students, especially in higher secondary education, where students face numerous challenges that can impact their academic performance. This study aims to explore the factors influencing academic resilience among higher secondary school students. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, with quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews conducted across multiple schools. Results indicate that personal motivation, family support, peer relationships, and school environment significantly contribute to resilience. The findings emphasize the importance of providing holistic support systems to enhance students' academic resilience, ensuring they can overcome academic challenges and thrive in their educational journey.
