días asistidos

English translation: no. of attendances / days attended

Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy / Ecuador
Spanish term or phrase: días asistidos
This is from a school transcript from Ecuador, in the "Attendance" section, with a space next to each item for a number.
Días laborados 26
Días asistidos 0
Faltas justificadas 0
Faltas injustificadas 0
Atrasos 2
Fugas 0

I am not clear on the difference between "días laborados" and "días asistidos." Obviously I can translate them literally, but I'd like to know what they mean in the Ecuadorian educational system. Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.

I have another query I'll post separately.

English translation:no. of attendances / days attended
Explanation:
Presumably the "días laborados" refers to the number of actual school days during that period, i.e., if that is 26, then full attendance would also be 26 days?

agree  Martin Cosgrove (X): I'm a secondary school teacher and this is correct. 'School days' versus 'Days attended'. By the way, we'd say 'authorised absences' and 'unauthorised absences'.
