School attendance links strongly to academic and other long-term outcomes. Students who do not attend school regularly are less likely to complete their schooling and more likely to experience poorer long-term health and social outcomes. Many factors can influence attendance, such as student engagement and wellbeing, family and community factors, and the school environment.
