Bagaimana bisa murid yang kurang beruntung meraih sukses di sekolah? Bagi sosiologis, Anindya Kundu, berpegangan-pada-keuletan dan kegigihan tidaklah cukup; siswa juga harus mengembangkan agen mereka, atau kemampuan mereka untuk mengatasi masalah dan bergerak di dalam sistem. Ia berbagi cerita penuh harapan dari siswa-siswa yang menantang ekspektasi dalam tantangan personal, sosial, dan institusional.

Dorongan yang dibutuhkan siswa untuk mengatasi masalah

Personal determination matters, but students facing hardship thrive when their agency is nurtured by support and opportunity. One student, raised by his extended family while his mother struggled with addiction, finally earned her bachelor’s degree at age 36 after years of setbacks and timely mentorship. Stories like hers show that achievement springs from both inner resolve and the social scaffolding that sustains it. Treating educational equity as a shared responsibility can help more students overcome systemic barriers.
