Exploring school avoidance and emotional barriers to attendance

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, many countries have seen a marked increase in school absenteeism and emotionally based school avoidance, posing serious challenges for educators and young people. While interventions often target persistently absent students, research shows that those missing less than 10% of school days also face considerable disadvantages. This course will confront the monumental challenge of attendance and emotional barriers to learning, examining emerging research and effective interventions through group discussions and peer learning.
