Zo ziet textbook armoede er uit als je het in een tabelletje giet. En mocht u twijfelen aan het nut van de schooltoelage, kijk dan nog eens.

Ik ben er voorstander van dat we eerst eens nagaan in welke mate het afnemen van de schooltoeslag ooit al 1 leerling terug naar school heeft doen gaan.

Er is dringend een shift nodig van afwezigheid naar aanwezigheid.

Who were the 'School Strikers for Climate' in Belgium? My research reveals they were mostly urban, female students with higher socio-economic backgrounds. Surprisingly, missing school for the strikes didn't affect their academic achievements. More details in the manuscript!

Tectura Groenkouter drong schooluitval terug door verbinding. De lat mag hoog en de regels strikt, maar ga ook dicht bij de leerlingen staan, verduidelijkt specialist Gil Keppens. Leerlingen wíllen dat iemand hun vraagt: ‘Waar was je?’ tinyurl.com/4z3funxw

New article 'School absenteeism and academic achievement: does the timing of the absence matter?' out in Learning and Instruction. Funded by @FWOVlaanderen

Few studies have examined how timing of absenteeism affects achievement. Results show that absences are more harmful at the beginning and end of the school year. The effect of time also varies according to the absenteeism reasons.

“Schooluitval terugdringen begint ’s ochtends aan de schoolpoort” - Klasse klasse.be/630244/schooluitva… Mooie reportage over hoe scholen via binding schooluitval kunnen terugdringen. Kijktip.

Een sterke band verkleint de kans op schooluitval

Het beste wapen tegen schooluitval is schoolbinding, concludeert onderzoeker Gil Keppens: “Sancties hebben pas effect als de band tussen school en leerling sterk is"

We show that First Generation College Students endorse more an economic investment motive and a social investment motive. These motives also relate to the choice for more economically rewarding fields of study. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Happy to announce that my article 'Who is absent from school when? An optimal matching analysis of within-year variation in the timing of school absences' is now published with @JofSchoolPsych with the support of @FWOVlaanderen (1/3)

It shows how applying optimal matching analysis on time-stamped school attendance data enables researchers, policy makers, and school professionals to uncover socio-temporal regularities in trajectories of non-attendance. (2/3)
