Parents & Students in Saskatchewan on Rising Absenteeism - CBC News

Rise in students across Saskatchewan calling in sick compared to 5 years ago My name is Aliyah Marko-Omene, and I am a reporter with CBC News. I am currently working on a story about the rise in student absences across the province, focusing specifically on how these rates have changed since the pandemic began. I am looking to understand the various reasons behind this increase, which could include factors such as mental health challenges, rising school-related costs, or a lack of engagement with the curriculum. I would be very grateful to hear from parents or students (elementary or high school) who would be willing to share their perspectives or experiences.
