DIW-Bildungsforscher @jaschadraeger.bsky.social hat anhand englischer Schuldaten erforscht, wie Fehlzeiten und Bildungserfolg zusammenhängen. Die Studie zeigt: Insbesondere Fehltage zwischen 6. und 10. Klasse wirken sich negativ auf die Abschlussnote aus. Zum Podcast: t.co/CrH1HsDStz

Je häufiger Schüler*innen im Unterricht fehlen, desto schlechter fällt Ihre Abschlussnote aus. Das zeigt eine neue DIW-Studie anhand von Schuldaten aus England, wo Fehlzeiten und schulische Leistungen detailliert erfasst werden.🧵(1/4) www.diw.de/de/diw_01.c.... @uofglasgow.bsky.social
