Prolonged School Absence
-Workshop Materials
At the conference on October 23, 2024, we focused on the complex phenomenon of prolonged school absence. Together with practitioners from primary schools across the country, school researcher Gro Emmertsen Lund, and researchers from the Intervention Unit, insights were presented, and knowledge was shared. We shared preliminary findings that illustrate the scope and trends of prolonged school absence in Danish primary schools. In a workshop with participants, we examined the mechanisms and stakeholders involved in cases of extended absence.
