The Professor patiently looked for ways to coordinate with the family to find a solution to the case.
The key to understanding the actions undertaken to identify cases of truancy is, at the national level, in the law on education (LOE, 2066). Stable schools must ensure the holistic development of its students. To make these adjustments to the curriculum as needed.
