School achievement in competitive and examination-
based education systems is getting increasingly important, often with neglected emphasis on its influence on the wellbeing of stu- dents. This study directs a closer look at achievement and psycho- logical resilience at school with a framework shaped by the interac- tion of psychosocial and school factors among 81 students in Turk- ish secondary schools. Findings indicated influence of the psycho- social and school-related factors on both school achievement and psychological resilience. Findings of the study call for attention to reform schools in ways that consider the individual needs of all students and target the development and learning of all.
