<< Objectives >>The aim of this project is to create the Scientific Observatory for School Attendance; a centre for the study and research of school attendance problems whose aim is to collect information, generate reports, develop research, offer formative training and promote awareness campaigns against school attendance problems and early school leaving. Four higher education institutions and eight high schools from Spain, Italy, Belgium and Turkey will participate in this project.<< Implementation >>In this project, an Observatory for school attendance will be created, which will serve as the main way of disseminating the findings and the activities developed. Among the activities, the following should be highlighted: the evaluation of school attendance problems in adolescents, professionals in the field of education and other related sciences and parents, the proposal of training actions, the creation of pedagogical material and the development of an awareness-raising campaign.<< Results >>This project will provide society with the first observatory on school attendance that serves as a reference website analysing school absenteeism and early school leaving. This observatory will offer regular reports, research, training activities, as well as awareness-raising campaigns to encourage regular school attendance for all, with a special focus being put on those with fewer opportunities. It is hoped these initiatives will help to reduce rates of school absenteeism and school dropout.
