This paper explores how e-resilience in educational systems is understood by the current literature and what the main drivers and challenges are to achieving e-resilience. To answer the research questions, the paper follows the PRISMA systematic literature review, which consists of a literature identification, a literature screening, and literature analysis. A total of 247 papers were identified as relevant, of which 243 papers were screened and 53 papers were analysed. The paper concludes that e-resilience in education is defined in a comprehensive way taking into account the system and the technological, human, and interactive dimensions. The current literature focuses primarily on the enumeration of challenges experienced by educational systems to overcome shocks. Further empirical research is needed to understand what these challenges entail and how they can be overcome.
