ABSENTEEISM AND SCHOOL DROPOUT - A CHALLENGE OF THE DIGITAL AGE
ABSENTEEISM AND SCHOOL DROPOUT - A CHALLENGE OF THE DIGITAL AGE

Summary/Abstract: The digital era has brought us many things to enjoy, shortening the time for most activities undertaken by humans. Technology and digitalization have provided several advantages in education, but also a series of consequences, a flip side of the coin. One of the consequences we can observe in the Romanian educational environment, and not only there, is absenteeism or school dropout. This article aims to explain the practical aspects of this phenomenon, discussing the main causes and anchoring itself in the everyday reality of the educational phenomenon, addressing a topic of great importance for students, parents, and teachers as the main actors, as well as for the entire society that they shape and influence in the future. This phenomenon is not new and has been addressed multiple times in recent decades, and through this article, we want to review newer aspects that theory does not sufficiently pay attention to in the daily life of the triangle formed by students, parents, and teachers. We aim for a serious reflection and a profound problematization of the issues arising from absenteeism and school dropout in society as a whole, focusing on existing solutions and the prevention of this phenomenon.
