    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Public Health
    • Educational Research

    Background:

    • Student absenteeism impacts academic performance and school resources.
    • Understanding seasonal and causal factors of absence is crucial for intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the frequency and causes of school absences.
    • To compare absence rates between seasons and geographical locations.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 1085 school absences at Aarau Technical School.
    • Comparative study of 1495 schoolchildren (aged 6-16) in Aargau.
    • Comparative analysis of absence data from the City of Zurich versus rural areas.

    Main Results:

    • Seasonal variations in school absences are significant, with winter months showing higher rates.
    • Medical reasons and accidents are primary drivers of student absenteeism.
    • Urban areas may experience higher rates of school time loss compared to rural settings.
