不登校、最多２４万人超　いじめ認知も一転増加―コロナ影響続く・文科省

　全国の小中学校で２０２１年度に不登校だった児童生徒は前年度から４万８８１３人（２４．９％）増の２４万４９４０人で過去最多となったことが２７日、文部科学省が公表した「問題行動・不登校調査」で分かった。増加は９年連続。また、高校なども含めたいじめ認知件数は前年度比１９％増の６１万５３５１件で、新型コロナウイルスに伴う一斉休校などにより減少した前回調査から再び増加に転じた。
　文科省は不登校が大幅に増えた要因について、コロナ禍での生活リズムの乱れや休むことへの抵抗感の薄れのほか、活動制限が続いて交友関係が築けないことに伴う登校意欲の低下を指摘。児童生徒の休養の必要性を明示した「教育機会確保法」が浸透したことなども背景にあるとみている。（2022/10/27-17:21）

The number of elementary and junior high school students in Japan who refused to go to school for a total of at least 30 days in fiscal 2021, which ended last March, jumped by 48,813, or 24.9 pct, from the previous year to a record 244,940, an education ministry survey showed Thursday.
   The total went up for the ninth straight year.
   The ministry said the sharp increase in the number of absentees can be attributed to children's disturbed life patterns and less reluctance to miss school amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, as well as fewer communication opportunities among students because of restricted school activities.
   Higher recognition of the education opportunity-securing law, which highlights the need for students to take a rest, is another factor contributing to the rise, according to the ministry.
   The absentees consisted of 81,498 elementary school students, up 28.6 pct, and 163,442 junior high school students, up 23.1 pct. Both the growth rates were record highs.
