2025 Symposium on Children: Strengthening School Attendance
Speaker: Dr. Arya Ansari
Chronic absenteeism is one of the most pressing challenges facing schools today. As high rates persist, researchers, educators, policymakers and parents are seeking data-driven insights and practical strategies to reverse the trend. On Thursday, Oct. 16, the Crane Center’s 2025 Symposium on Children will offer a free, half-day event focused on understanding the scope of chronic absenteeism and exploring promising approaches to improve school attendance across age groups. Open to all, this event is especially relevant for educators and school districts, those working in research and policy and parents.
