The empirical material was analyzed using discretion, general systems theory, and the theory of street-level bureaucracy. To get further knowledge of the subject, previous research is also presented.

Problematic school absence is an extensive problem in society, which made us interested in studying the subject more deeply. This study aims to examine how coordinators of absence work with problematic school absences in primary school. The study was conducted using a qualitative method, through semi-constructed interviews. Seven people who work with problematic school absences, in this study called coordinators of absence, were interviewed. The empirical material was analyzed using discretion, general systems theory, and the theory of street-level bureaucracy. To get further knowledge of the subject, previous research is also presented. The results showed that the work with problematic school absences is complex. It is also complicated to define problematic school absence. Absence is identified with the help of statistics, but this is not enough. An overall picture of a student's situation is required to be able to work with and adapt the solution to the student's needs. The result also showed that although it is important to work preventively with problematic absence, it is difficult because of the lack of resources. (Less)
