This article analyses the state of education in Niger, drawing inspiration from two publications that highlight contexts in which education can only take alternative forms. This is the case when education seeks to take root and foster sustainable competencies, while a crucial need emerges to restore the health of the social fabric. Extending a line of research that initially examines the enhancement of teachers’ and teacher trainers’ pedagogical and professional competencies—by linking them to local cultural resources and to instruction in local languages—the article brings to light the crucial role of this tool of resilience in adapting to post-conflict situations or contexts marked by severe poverty.
In a second phase, the article presents the possibilities offered by non-formal education, particularly bridging classes and alternative pedagogies, which constitute effective and resilient strategies for combating violations of the right to education and for addressing its genuine realisation for all children, with particular attention to vulnerable groups.
