Abstract

School absences increased massively during the Covid-19 pandemic and remain high internationally. We investigate whether policy variation in restrictions influenced pupil absence during the pandemic and how this affected post-pandemic attendance and academic achievement. Variation in restrictions during autumn 2020 that restricted social contact (but that were not aimed at schools) caused higher rates of school absence at the time and in subsequent years. The school attendance of pupils from lower socio-economic groups was much more strongly impacted by variation in restrictions
