Non-attendance is a universal trouble. In France, approximately 8% of Lycée students, and 3% of Collège students leave out classes (“sèchent les cours”). However schools are acting to bound the problem. Particular commissions are in place to deal with the most unrelenting truants.
Parents are from time to time caught up in the trouble, clearing up their children’s illegal absences as being because of constant exhaustion. Other than the “consolers principaux d’éducation” at secondary schools have been ready to be careful for this, and suggest advice to parents concerning setting sensible times for going to bed, and off-putting the number of times students leave throughout the week. Parental approach towards teaching is recognized to have a power on the absence of their children as well. In households where school and instruction as a whole is held in small regard, and thought to be of small worth, absence is much more common.
Truants are called to report opposite a “commission educative” prearranged by the CPE of the school. In their parents’ or guardians’ attendance, the students have to give details their absences. It’s not a happy gathering; however it acts to alert the parents that they require undertaking the trouble, and it can be the turning tip for many truants who are either dishonored or convinced into understanding that going to school is the superior choice.
