Using this method made the understanding of stakeholders and their impact clearer. It was relatively easy to identify since there are not that many stakeholders involved in the matters of public education.

Stakeholder that is easy to influence and high impact is school administration. they hold power that can change teachers routine, and they are relatively easy to talk to compared to government

Easy to influence / High impact: (International/local) partners, NGOs – easy to cooperate (they’re usually open for cooperation), have other partners, organize the events for young people, wherr youth can find themselves.

Easy to influence / Low impact: Uni, schools – usually don’t care about everything what’s going on outside of education process.

Difficult to influence/ High impact: (Local) government – to ask for the interships, cooperation with other cities/countries to exchange experience, show to the young people that their government interested in their knowledges and future.

Difficult to influence/ Low impact: Target group, parents – interesting in their kids future, but don’t believe that volunteering, youth working are real job and youth can really achieve anything from it. Also it is difficult to explain to young people what they will get and why it is important to join us.

School absenteeism in Ireland is influenced by factors such as socioeconomic challenges, mental health issues, bullying, family circumstances, substance abuse, and disengagement from the curriculum. Its consequences include academic underachievement, social isolation, increased dropout rates, and potential legal action against parents under the Education (Welfare) Act 2000. Solutions involve early intervention better mental health support, anti-bullying policies, parental engagement, and alternative education pathways.

Target Influence Levels:

High-influence groups include policymakers, school principals, and media, as they shape education policies, enforce attendance, and influence public attitudes. Medium-influence groups, like teachers and social workers, directly engage with students and families. Low-influence groups, such as peers and extended family, may impact attendance but have limited authority to enforce change. Effective solutions require collaboration across all levels to address absenteeism comprehensively.
