This study considers the issue of absenteeism in Norwegian high schools with a particular focus on the new controversial 10% ceiling, which began in August 2016. Data was obtained through documentary sources and participant observation in one high school with one of the highest absenteeism rates in the capital, Oslo. Employing Foucault’s ‘panoptic gaze’, the study also interrogates schools’ growing dependence on technology in self-reporting absence and enacting more effective forms of ‘disciplinary power’. The study argues that each school and each individual case warrant careful attention before macro-policies on a national level are enacted by politicians, who at best have a superficial familiarity with the challenges and uncertainties that constrain these students’ academic progress.

旷工与挪威新的10％裁定：案例研究

这项研究考虑了挪威高中的旷课问题，特别关注于2016年8月开始的新的有争议的10％上限。数据是通过文献来源和参与者观察获得的，该数据来自一所旷课率最高的一所高中。首都奥斯陆。这项研究利用了福柯的“全景注视”，还询问了学校在自我报告的缺勤情况下对技术的日益依赖，并制定了更有效的“纪律权力”形式。该研究认为，在政界人士制定国家一级的宏观政策之前，每所学校和每一个案例都需要得到认真的关注，政客们最好只是对限制这些学生的学术进步的挑战和不确定性有一个肤浅的了解。
