principal for attendance


Explanation:
Hello,

Look here:http://dictionnaire.mediadico.com/traduction/dictionnaire.as...

There's a column on the right hand side of this webpage where possible translations of "scolarité" are given. There are two: schooling and attendance at school. I assume it's the latter that applies here.

I hope this helps.
