Summary/Abstract: In a global context marked by uncertainty, rapid change, and systemic challenges, education must become a pillar of both social and individual resilience. This paper explores the interdependence between resilience, equity, and innovation as essential foundations for building a sustainable, inclusive, and adaptable educational system. It argues that educational resilience cannot be achieved without equitable policies that reduce disparities, nor without pedagogical and technological innovations that address the diverse needs of learners. The analysis includes international case studies, models of best practices, and recommendations for policymakers, educators, and educational communities. The paper proposes an integrated vision of education as a space for social transformation, where equity and innovation are indispensable conditions for resilience.The paper pursues five key objectives: to conceptually define the interrelated roles of resilience, equity, and innovation in education, to analyze the structural and policy-based conditions that support or hinder resilient and equitable learning environments, to identify and evaluate innovative practices that promote inclusion and adaptability, especially in response to systemic disruptions, to propose a multidimensional model for integrating these principles into educational policy and practice, and to formulate actionable recommendations for policymakers, educators, and institutional leaders.
