Abstract

This study analyzes risk management strategies to ensure educational continuity in crisis. The objective is to review the scientific literature on the topic. A qualitative methodology was used, conducting an exhaustive search of bibliographies published in educational journals aimed at risk management and learning continuity. The search markers used were SciELO, Scopus and Recimundo, reviewing 65 studies in those databases, prioritizing 10 key studies, developed from 2020-2023. Review articles were used as search instruments to evaluate existing strategies. The results highlight that online education platforms, teacher training in technologies and curriculum adaptation are essential to maintain education during crises. However, effectiveness varies depending on access to technological resources, teacher training. Factors such as socioeconomic inequality and technological infrastructure influence success, with barriers such as lack of devices, but facilitators such as government support and community collaboration. It is concluded that it is necessary to adapt strategies to local specificities to improve risk management and educational resilience in emergency situations.
