Exploring the Effects of War on the Educational Performance of Afghan Students in India: The Mediating Influence of Social Support and Mental Health

Country India
Abstract This study examines the effects of war on Afghan students' educational performance in India, focusing on the mediating roles of social support and mental health. Using a mixed-method approach—including thematic analysis, regression analysis via the PROCESS macro, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA)—data were collected from 218 Afghan students across Indian universities through a structured questionnaire. Findings revealed that war does not directly impact educational performance but significantly affects it through social support and mental health, underscoring the role of coping mechanisms. Thematic analysis highlighted recurring issues such as hopelessness, financial struggle, resiliency, and the importance of social support. Despite emotional and financial challenges, institutional support—particularly from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR)—was found essential for both academic success and psychological well-being. These findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions in mental health services, educational access, and institutional backing to improve academic outcomes and overall well-being among displaced students.
