dc.abstract.enThis paper focuses on individual responses to education in crisis, with strategies of students contextualized and examined within a wider multi-crisis reality. Offering a conceptual framework of social solvation, the proposed model explains how failures in the education system at the macro (state) and meso (institutional) levels translate into young people’s behaviours at the individual (micro) level. Based on the analysis of twenty-six in-depth interviews with young students, we identify and discuss three main micro-rational strategies that the interviewees relied upon to navigate their learning during the pandemic: (1) casualization (2) customization and (3) contempt towards the broader system. We argue that the already weak Polish education system was further impaired by the COVID-19 crisis. In response to growing social and educational risks, young people forge and employ highly individualized strategies. As micro-rational social actions essentially bypass the unwieldy education system in a variety of ways, they have vital implications for educational futures.
