The DN of the Debate. The decision to shorten the weary pupils of the school day to be taken all too lightly

in Sweden-just landed (or crashed) in the Pisaresultaten. The Swedish school results are continually the subject of debate. But it is not in relation to pupils ' attendance at school. How can this be? The minister did not mention the word school attendance when she is writing about the Pisaresultaten in his op-ed article in dagens nyheter, Debate, december 3, 2019. It is because of the lack of research by school attendance and school performance? Perhaps it is linked to the fact we don't even have to keep an eye on how much of the absence in the Swedish school system.

A student who has gone to 20 per cent in a semester, missing a total of about one month's tuition. In many other countries, and 10 percent in the absence of a sharp limit as to when an absence is seen as quite alarming.

But the local government's own figures show that many of the students are gone, so much so that in a month during the semester. Sweden seems to have a huge utbildningssvinn. In the year, the department of Education finally, in a national survey of the prevalence of skolfrånvaro. It could be the beginning of a new era in which we will get to the clues on the weakness of the Pisaresultaten, and in which the value of school attendance may begin to be taken seriously.

to All of you who are sitting in the meetings for children who do not go to school, and are deciding whether to shorten the school day to 1 hour a day, and that the student must go to the three days of the week are you willing to be in this child's clothing on when it is excluded?

the research shows consistently that students ' attendance is of crucial importance for the fate of the school. The lack of research, but when local authorities are themselves taking up the statistics of the students ' absences in relation to eligibility, assessment of qualifications, or the proportion agreed to in all the subjects, what emerges is a clear picture, the better the school is, and the less you will miss 10 to 15 percent of the tuition, or more. The relationship between attendance and performance in school are seen not only at a very high level of absenteeism. Half of the teaching has been of significance early on." To be able to go to school would mean that students are learning something.

Research has also shown that the skolfrånvaro may have adverse consequences in terms of mental ill-health, loneliness, low self-esteem, substance use, and sleep problems. At the same time, the reasons for the absence. In order to enhance young people's mental health, we need to prevent absenteeism.

Skolfrånvaro is a societal problem, not problems in school. Absenteeism is always a symptom of a problem or failure in one's life. The detection and the analysis of the absence, provides guidance as to what needs to be changed in order to increase attendance. By drawing attention to the absence, the school can be developed, so that, for example, students with an autism spectrum disorder, adhd, and weak, and the theoretical ability, and the anxiety is getting to a school where they can thrive and develop to their educational objectives. By drawing attention to the absence of can, the shortcomings of the child's life to be made visible and dealt with. Among the pupils of the second grade of the nine is the one person in class is gone, at least for a day, a week, in order to take care of a family member. The students, who are at home, in order to provide practical or emotional support to a family member needs relief, don't skolfrånvaro.

there may, too often, the reports of the schools, often under the pressure of child psychiatry, social services, and the legal guardians to decide whether a custom course of study to which the stake in the event of widespread absenteeism. Custom, course of study, is a form of support where the learner is, for example, may receive more or less instructional time in one subject or completely avoid the need to read the topic. Adapted course of study may be a helpful, and necessary effort for a limited period of time, but it can also mean that a student will leave school without a complete education, and without any access to a national upper secondary school programmes. A decision regarding a custom course of study must, therefore, be carefully considered.

however, It seems that the decisions are taken far too lightly, and that the ”short session” is set up, but you should consider the consequences for the student. The reason for the end of the school day out often being that the user is tired and needs to sleep. A student who receives a single hour of schooling per week in one or in the worst case scenario for several semesters, and academic years may not be in their right to the education and training provided.

It is the right and proper thing. However, the student has not received one hundred per cent in training. The statistics on how many students are in the day, which has a customized course of study that the school is not able to adapt the learning environment to the student's needs or that the student has difficulty sleeping. In parallel with the measurement of the skolfrånvaro, we need to find out how many students are in Sweden today, with the support of law be deprived of their education and training to the community and the school to find solutions to the problems in the students ' education and lives.

do not take a child's education away from them. To all of you who sit in meetings about the children who do not attend school, and are deciding whether to shorten the school day to 1 hour a day, and that the student must go to the three days of the week are you willing to be in this child's clothing on when it is excluded?

don't go to your education is taken away from you. This is the reason why it's a hassle to have to go to school to be resolved. The solution is not to remove you from the school. Sweden can do better than that to remove the students from the school. We must have the courage to stand up to the school, something has to give. While we believe that the school is a valuable venture, we also have to account for the life-saving presence.

in the nation, the county and the other principals keep track of students ' attendance may give in school improvement, and we are not able to afford anything in this country. The debate, in research, in ministries of education, and the skolhuvudmän need to pay attention to the presence of importance for the students to get an education, to thrive, to achieve good performance, and well-being.
