Abstract

Although not used in such a way by every author in the field, two of the output measures in school effectiveness research can be truancy and drop-out rates.

Despite the fact that truancy and drop-out are brought about by causes outside the control of the school, such as society as a whole, parental background, pupil characteristics, and characteristics of the school system, it is the responsibility of schools to take measures to deal with these problems.

By way of a study of literature, interviews with school staff and a survey, measures taken by secondary schools with respect to truancy and drop-out are collected and related to other school characteristics and to attendance and drop-out rates.

In a follow-up study the possible effectiveness of perfecting a school’s anti-truancy system will be assessed.
