Study on Teacher Absenteeism in Indonesia 2014

Students will need the skills to enable them to participate productively in the economy, to fill skills gaps in the changing labour market, as well as to develop “smart” citizens with good character to contribute to a socially harmonious nation. As such, the findings of the Teacher Absenteeism Study provide valuable insights on the need to reform teacher performance and student learning.

This study was commissioned by the Education Sector Analytical and Capacity Development Partnership (ACDP), and builds on earlier work on teacher absence in Indonesia conducted in 2003 and 2008. The study also cites previous analysis of change over time in the absence rate and the impact of selected policies and programs.
