ANSEO

As schools continue to tackle school attendance problems TESS and the Department of Education and Youth (DEY) are committed to supporting schools in their work to improve student attendance. Following a successful trial of the Anseo model in four schools during 2023-2024, TESS and the DEY are now implementing a phased national roll out of Anseo with the support of an Implementation team. Sixty schools will participate in this phase.

Anseo, an actionable attendance too for schools, is an evidence-based approach to improving school attendance. Using a three-tiered model schools can identify patterns of absenteeism at the student, class and whole school level to develop nuanced and timely responses to drivers of school absenteeism within each tier. Using the model will enable school leadership to use their school level attendance data to understand the shape of their attendance patterns and to plan appropriate interventions for all students.
