January 2008 Newsletter: Absenteeism Rates

Photo enlarged on Click

Absenteeism rates peaked up to over 8% in April, which is a Genocide Remembrance month.

They had started off close to 2% at the start of the school year, and this is credited to the local government's house-to-house anti-truancy campaigns.

RSVP's intervention has produced an all-time low absenteeism level of less than 1%, and had it not been for a named kid who moved away and onother who was sick in October 2007 (see Raw Data), the ideal 0% absenteeism rate would have been achieved in that month.
