Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter discusses and introducing the problem of the problem. It includes the
introduction, statement of the problem, scope and delimitation, significance of the study and
definition of terms used in conducting the study
Introduction
Students are expected to go to school every day. They will learn something in schood and
they may apply it to their everyday living, There are so many activities that a student should
attend. If they can't attend school they might be left behind, and could affect their academic
performance.
There are reasons why a student can't attend or tend to absent in class. Some of these are
hecause they are sick, they don't have money, and they can't come to attend because
there's something happen. According to Keter (2014), absenteeism in school is the habit of
staying away from school without providing a genuine or any reason for not attending
classes. Absenteeism is a truant hehavior that negatively affects the performance among
students. Absenteeism is used by so many factors such as lack of interest, teacher
approach, pamperness, private couching, diseases, school infrastructural facilities and
entertainment.
William (2018) sited that people often consider grades first defining academic performance
Academic performance depends on learning skulls, on home environment, academic,
interactima and study habit. Although education is not only road to success in the working
world, such effort is made to identify, evaluate, track and encourage the progress of students
in school. Parents care about their child's educational performance because they believe
good results will provide more career choices and job security. Schools, though investing in
fastening positive habits for the same. reason, are also often influenced by concerns about
the school's reputation and the possibility of manetary aid from government institutions,
which can hang on overall academic performance of the school. State and federal
departments of education are charged with improving schools and so devise methods of
measuring success in order to create plans of improvement, according to Bell (2018)
Attendance in school is so important to a student. Almenteeism can affect their academic
performance in some instances. It could affect nut just their grades but also their life. It is
important to study absenteeism and academic performance for the students to be aware
about it so they can avoid it. The main aim of the study is to determine the impact of
absenteeism to the academic performance of TVL students at CSHS. The researchers also
want to know the factors affecting absenteeism in class because some of the students
