DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Attendance and absences* Attendance rates in Scotland over the course of a whole academic year have been between 93% and 94% since 2008/09. * Since 1 November 2020, attendance has ranged from 88.6% to 90.8%.* Absences (authorised and unauthorised) because of non COVID-19 related reasons (including exclusions) have ranged from 5.7% to 7.4%. * The number of pupils who were not in school either all or part of the day because of COVID-19 related reasons rose to its highest level to date on 11 November, at 30,028 pupils.* The percentage of school openings that showed pupils were not in school because of COVID-19 related reasons has ranged from 3.3% to 4.4%.* As at 12 November, the breakdown of school openings for pupils not in school due to Covid-19 related reasons were as followso 9.9% were because parent(s) chose to keep pupils away from school as a precautionary measure contrary to public health guidance, o 86.9% were because pupils were self-isolating in relation to Covid-19, o 2.6% were because pupils had a Covid-19 related sickness and o 0.7% were because schools were closed because of Covid-19.* As at 12 November, around 1.2% of total absences were due to pupils who had a COVID-19 related sickness. This represents about 0.1% of all school pupils.* The rate of absence due to COVID-related sickness varies by Local Authority, largely in line with the wider prevalence of the virus in those communities. * The overall absence rate due to COVID-19 has risen in recent weeks. There have been rises in each of the underlying reasons for absence, but by far the largest driver is the number of pupils who are absent due to the need to self-isolate. School staff absences due to COVID-19* As at 10 November 2020, 630 school staff were absent with confirmed COVID-19 or with symptoms of COVID-19, and a further 1,985 school staff were absent for other COVID-19 related reasons (e.g. isolating, quarantining, or were looking after someone). The equivalent figures for 20 October were 403 and 1,497 staff respectively.* To provide some context, and expressed as headcounts, as at September 2019, there were almost 57,000 teachers, 15,600 classroom support staff and 10,500 for other support staff (excluding janitors, cleaners, catering staff, and volunteers etc.). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the thinnest veneer of 'the science' having any contribution to decision-making is long gone. Substitute the numerous use of "there is no evidence..." in that latest report from The Guys to "we are choosing to ignore this evidence". Deciding on your conclusion and working backwards is top The Sciencing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Agnes spelled backwards. Very much a scheme thing, but was mildly popular as a name back in that era and wasn't something Rikki Fulton made up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 [mention=22650]DeeTillEhDeh[/mention]. Why are you missing this a page at a time when there's a link to the document?I thought posting the seperate sections would be helpful.Just doing it on a mobile as well is a pain.Overall, the report, as Renton has already pointed out, is lot more nuanced than the headlines are saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Holiday up north cancelled. Not allowed to go up north in Scotland, but can board a plane to the Canary Islands for a few nights. Might just do that instead then. Bonkers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all, just one hotel and a couple of restaurants. But was going to be Dornoch, then across to the other coast, then down to Argyll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 The governor set an arbitrary positive rate of 3% a while ago and said if we go above that we'll close schools.
