The National Education Agency today presented the 2023 Preliminary and Primary Education Observatory and considered the enrollment of children in schools “critical”.
“Low classroom attendance is a structural problem for primary and general primary education in Uruguay,” the report says.
The report indicates that in 2023, 64% of children enrolled in primary education, and about 83% of infants in primary education, found themselves in a situation of critical assistance.
He emphasizes that regular attendance in classrooms “constitutes one of the basic requirements for the continuation of the learning process and the proper integration of children into school.”
Al-Monitor reported that out of 176.5 average school days in 2023, 25% of students in first through sixth grade missed more than 34 days (20% of classes), while 50% of minors missed more than 22 days (13%). . “)
The text concludes that school absence was higher in Montevideo than in the interior, at the lowest levels compared to the highest levels, and at the most vulnerable levels in the socio-cultural context compared to those who were least at risk.
