This is truancy, an ilegal and intentional absence from education. In our society, it is more common to see this in popular neighborhoods, where there is a higher percentage of parents who do not care about their children (how they are going in school with their grades, behavior, etc). And of course, it also happen in wealhy neighborhoods, but in lower percentage. 

Some people think that this is a reason of the delay in the advancement of society, because our youth are not interested in learning and then they will be "nobody in the future". 

In Ecuador, it is sancionated with temporary suspension of class attendence for fifteen (15) days maximum, where the student must perform some school - led activity, supervised by their legal representative. Also in anglophone countries we can see that other measure to avoid it is the imposition of fines for parents and if in specific cases the fine can be for the young.
