The OECD warned Spain about the challenge of reducing school absenteeism in the initial stages of education. The organization points out that class abandonment problems are no longer a marginal issue, but have become a challenge that affects classrooms in almost all developed countries.
However, the impact varies significantly from country to country. While some countries manage to maintain good results, others, such as Spain, show an upward trend that concerns educational authorities.
In Spain's specific case, school absenteeism is growing especially at the primary level, which suggests that attendance problems begin to manifest at an increasingly younger age. This trend contrasts with the OECD's recommendations to act as early as possible to prevent school dropout.
