This study explores problematic school absenteeism (PSA) in Swedish education, focusing on how schools conceptualise and address this complex issue. 

Transitioning from primary to secondary school is a big change for students. As schools begin to turn their minds towards student transition activities for the 2026 school year, new international research shines a light on the impact of student absenteeism during these transition years. We’re joined by the study’s lead author to find out more.

School absenteeism is a growing problem. To develop targeted interventions for different types of individuals, more knowledge of underlying risk and protective factors is needed. This study examined the developmental trajectories of school absences from primary school (Grade 6) to lower secondary school (Grade 9) and related risk and protective factors. 

Skolen er i en værdimæssig ubalance, som er med til at få elever til at holde op med at gå i skole, siger Wilma Walther-Hansen, som har skrevet ph.d. om skolefravær set fra et elevperspektiv.

We know absenteeism has a negative impact on students. But what about on other members of the school community? New research explores the link between student absenteeism and teacher job satisfaction. 

Halvparten av foreldrene til barn med skolevegring fikk selv psykiske problemer, viser ny studie.

I ett nytt forskningsprojekt på Högskolan för lärande och kommunikation (HLK) vid Jönköping University (JU) ska flera olika yrkesgrupper samverka för att försöka skapa verktyg för att öka skolnärvaron och få fler elever att få godkända betyg.

Långvarig problematisk skolfrånvaro får allvarliga konsekvenser för elever, både på kort och lång sikt. Den här studien bygger på intervjuer med sex elever med autism som har erfarenhet av skolfrånvaro och fyra erfarna lärare. Syftet med studien var att förstå vilka faktorer som ökar eller minskar risken för problematisk skolfrånvaro. Resultaten visar att både elever…

One-to-one tutoring can help improve student-teacher relationships and students’ sense of belonging, leading to lower absenteeism rates, according to recent research from the Stanford University National Student Support Accelerator. 

School attendance problems (SAPs) have implications for children’s and adolescents’ academic, social, and personal development. Previous research has mainly been conducted using quantitative methods. In the present study, the authors searched specific databases for studies reporting qualitative data representing the voices of children, parents, and school staff regarding SAPs in the Nordic countries.
