Absenteeism, defined as the habitual or frequent absence from school without valid reasons, is a critical issue that impacts student learning and achievement. The research aims to explore how missing school days disrupts students' ability to grasp essential concepts, participate in classroom activities, and engage in assessments. A mixed-method approach was employed, incorporating both quantitative surveys to measure academic performance and qualitative interviews to gather insights from teachers, parents, and students. The findings reveal that absenteeism leads to lower grades, poor class participation, and a lack of consistent academic progress. The study also identifies factors such as family issues, health problems, and lack of motivation as contributing to student absenteeism. Based on these findings, the study suggests strategies for improving attendance, including better communication between school and home, counseling support, and creating a more engaging learning environment. This research underscores the need for schools to address absenteeism as a means to improve academic outcomes for students....Preview Download Preview +Other Education project topics and materials you might be interested in»Strategies for improving low academic performance in English language in secondary schools»The effect of continuous assessment on academic performance of students in school (a case study of Okitipupa local government area of Ondo state)»Influence of social media on the performance of secondary school students as perceived by teachers»The effect of overpopulation on the academic performance of students - a case study of Uselu secondary school, Benin City»The use of extensive reading in promoting communication competence in secondary school»Evaluating the causes, effects and solutions to cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions»Effect of drill and practice on the academic achievement of students in English language in junior secondary schools»The problems of primary school education in Kano State»Factors affecting the effective implementation of continuous assessment in Oredo local government area of Edo state»Effect of school environment on the academic performance of primary school students»Factors associated with the mass failure of students in integrated science in secondary schools»Factors affecting the implementation of universal basic education in some selected primary schools»Cultism in Nigeria's tertiary institutions - a case study of Lagos state university»Efficacy of mastery learning on retention and performance in identified threshold concepts in chemistry among secondary school students in Kano municipal, Nigeria»Impact of principal’s leadership style on students’ academic performance in some selected secondary schools of Gwale local government area, Kano state
