逃学的含义是学生在正常上课期间，在学校未批准的情况下，离开学校，逃学的现象经常发生在所谓的“坏学生”身上。
Truancy means that students leave school during normal class time without the approval of the school. The phenomenon of truancy often occurs in so-called “bad students”.
但是，现如今的大学课堂十分流行“逃课”，与“逃学”的含义十分相似，即，不愿上课而想尽办法离开课堂。
逃学率
最近，中学生心理信息采集与分析中心围绕这一专题，对江苏省部分中学做了一次心理信息的采集，采集样本3674份。调查结果显示53.38%的学生都不曾有过逃学的念头、67.5%的学生都不曾有过离家出走的想法；88.9%的学生不曾有过逃学的行为、94.7%的学生不曾有过离家出走的行为。对于逃学和离家出走可能产生的危险，大多数学生都有清醒的认识，67.8%的学生认为离家出走有危险。大多数学生对学校、对学习、对家教都有良好的适应性。但其中有一些调查结果，也必须引起足够的重视。
面对“上中学后，你有过逃学不上课的念头吗？”，回答“有时”或“经常”产生逃学念头的，初一为0%、初二为8.4%、初三为7.6%、高一为27.7%、高二为20.9%、高三为31.6%。承认有过逃学经历的学生初一占1%、初二占6%、初三占6.4%、高一占11.6%、高二占17.5%、高三占18.54%，年级越高所占比例越大。
原因
据调查，逃学的学生有38.83%是到网吧聊天、玩电脑游戏；10.58%是与朋友在一块玩；14.1%的学生是一个人在外闲逛。只有9.86%的学生是待在家里。这对我们的家长和教育工作者都敲起了警钟。当问及“导致学生离家出走的主要原因是什么”时，回答“学习压力太大”的有37.2%、“与父母的矛盾导致”的有36.9%、被老师批评的有9.45%、校外朋友影响的有5.7%。
However, “truancy” is very popular in college classrooms nowadays, which is very similar to the meaning of “truancy”, that is, they do not want to attend classes and try their best to leave the classroom.
Truancy rate
Recently, the Middle School Student Psychological Information Collection and Analysis Center conducted a psychological information collection on some middle schools in Jiangsu Province around this topic, collecting 3,674 samples. The survey results show that 53.38% of students have never had the idea of truancy, and 67.5% of students have never had the idea of running away from home; 88.9% of students have never been truant, and 94.7% of students have never run away from home. Most students have a clear understanding of the possible dangers of truancy and running away from home, and 67.8% of students believe that running away from home is dangerous. Most students have good adaptability to school, study, and tutoring. However, some of the survey results must also be given enough attention.
When asked, “Have you ever thought of skipping school after entering middle school?”, the percentage of students who answered “sometimes” or “often” to have the idea of skipping school was 0% in the first grade of junior high school, 8.4% in the second grade of junior high school, 7.6% in the third grade of junior high school, 27.7% in the first grade of senior high school, 20.9% in the second grade of senior high school, and 31.6% in the third grade of senior high school. The percentage of students who admitted to skipping school was 1% in the first grade of junior high school, 6% in the second grade of junior high school, 6.4% in the third grade of junior high school, 11.6% in the first grade of senior high school, 17.5% in the second grade of senior high school, and 18.54% in the third grade of senior high school. The higher the grade, the greater the percentage.
Reason
According to the survey, 38.83% of students who skipped school went to Internet cafes to chat and play computer games; 10.58% played with friends; and 14.1% of students wandered around alone. Only 9.86% of students stayed at home. This has sounded the alarm for our parents and educators. When asked, “What are the main reasons why students run away from home?”, 37.2% answered “too much study pressure”, 36.9% answered “conflicts with parents”, 9.45% answered “being criticized by teachers”, and 5.7% answered “influenced by friends outside of school”.
