Worrying trends in school attendance post-Covid in both primary and secondary schools in Ireland. Highest absentee rates in the most disadvantaged school. High levels of school completion have been a real success story but declining attendance &school engagement threatens this

I've set up a Starter Park for academic economists in Ireland and those abroad with a strong Irish connection. Keen to add more, esp PhDs and postdocs, so let me know! (Women make up 50% of the 80 academic economists in Dublin but are a far smaller share of this list so far... Help me fix that!)

I made a starter pack of Irish economists and economists interested in Ireland. It’s still sparse, but I’ll add to it as people join. Let me know if you would like to be added or have any suggestions. go.bsky.app/UweG3ib
