This issue adopts an appreciative lens, drawing together elements of education which could become the rungs of the ladder to lift us ahead. Undoubtedly, schooling during the pandemic revealed several inequities, exposing aspects of vulnerability and positioning others with privilege. It was overall a time of complexity and simplicity, and it is in this paradox that we find ourselves drawing out those pearls of wisdom. Compositely, these ten manuscripts articulate an emerging need to salvage and reclaim, following the disruption imposed by the pandemic. As a people, we have no choice but to move forward, and it is the lessons from this crisis which will inform and underpin our efforts in the education of tomorrow.
