Highlights
This research brief draws upon qualitative research that took place in five primary schools in a coastal lowland district in West Papua province, and five primary schools in a highland district in Papua province, from July 2022 to January 2023. The research used a political economy and gender analysis to understand teacher absenteeism in national, district and school contexts, based on data collected from in-depth interviews, focus group discussions as well as from a policy and literature review.
This research used the UNICEF 2012 Teacher Absenteeism Research and the Education Sector Analytical and Capacity Development Partnership’s (ACDP) 2014 Teacher Absenteeism research as reference points.
