INSA (International Network of School Attendance) was delighted to collaborate with the journal Orbis Scholae for a special issue on ‘Recording, Reporting, & Using School Attendance Data’. To improve school attendance, education and government departments around the world engage in some form of monitoring through the recording and reporting of absenteeism. Despite an abundant literature on school absenteeism, it’s still known relatively little about the different approaches that are used to define, record, and report school attendance across countries or states/regions within countries. This inconsistency is a major limiting factor for research collaboration across countries, for policy alignment, and for identifying best practices. This special issue presents the broadest overview so far on how school attendance and absenteeism is defined and measured in different countries.
