Spanish term or phrase: con lo que permaneció inescolar a esa fecha

Hola,

Sigo en el informe psicológico del niño. Sólo me queda esta duda:

Hablando la inasistencia a clases de una de las hermanas del niño:

"Dada esta situación, se canceló la matrícula de la niña el día XX de XXXXX, con lo que permaneció inescolar a esa fecha."

Sé que inescolaridad se refiere a deserción escolar, school drop-out, pero no logro darle sentido a esta frase.

¿Alguien sabe?

Muchas gracias.

Without more context it's hard to tell, but my understanding is that the child is being charged with truancy and the author is emphasizing that the student was not subject to the school's regulations from the time she was formally taken out of the school. They can't charge her with truancy when she wasn't enrolled. Emphasis is on the date. I don't think it's about her schooling in general.

con lo que permaneció inescolar a esa fecha. and she therefore was not enrolled in any academic institution as of that date.

Explanation:
The point seems to be to subtly emphasize that the parents/adults responsible for her care did not take action to enroll her in some other school after she was expelled from her the last school that she attended due to excessive absence.

Suerte.

Addendum:

To me, it would sound more natural in English to write:

and she therefore has not been enrolled in any academic institutions since that date

If you otherwise know that this is the case, I would suggest that you translate the sentence in this way.

with the result that she was unschooled as from that date

Explanation:
Best to avoid making assumptions about whether of not the parents tried to get the child enrolled elsewhere. The source text merely says she was unschooled.

which meant that she was excluded from school from that date onwards.

Explanation:
Although the term "excluded" is not used in the source text, in English it conveys the intended meaning effectively and is an established term in education/schooling policies. The use of this would make it clear that the reason for her no longer going to school is a result of a decision made by the school as a consequence of her non-attendance.

Ref. for use of exclusion:
www.direct.gov.uk/.../Schoolslearninganddevelopment/YourChi... -

Permanent exclusions

A school will usually only permanently exclude a child as a last resort, after trying to improve the child's behaviour through other means. However, there are exceptional circumstances in which a headteacher may decide to permanently exclude a pupil for a 'one-off' offence.

If your child has been permanently excluded, be aware that:

* the school's governing body is required to review the headteacher's decision and you may meet with them to explain your views on the exclusion
* if the governing body confirms the exclusion, you can appeal to an independent appeal panel organised by the local authority
* the school must explain in a letter how to lodge an appeal
* the local authority must provide full-time education from the sixth day of a permanent exclusion
