Abstract

This article analyzes students’ resilience in 7,789 schools in the Colombian
educational system and its relationship with educational efficiency
between 2014 and 2019. The empirical analysis is carried out in two
stages. First, a multilevel model with random intercept and slope is
estimated to determine the students categorized as resilient. Then
conditional order-m models are used to calculate the efficiency. The
results indicate a negative relationship between thenumber of resilient
students and schools’ inefficiency of up to 33% in public schools and
12% in private schools.
