Absence nowadays cannot be separated from the individual who was called a
student.
This absence of phenomena, it is easy to see even likened it has become a necessity in
the nature of students. So it is not surprising if this habit continues to fall proceeds
the problem still persists. It cannot be denied that every now and then, students may
miss some school activities and lessons. But it becomes a problem if the student will
be away from school for many days. Going to school regularly is crucially important
for a student’s education and social skills. Chronic absentee students are placed at a
disadvantage both socially and academically. They miss out on critical stages of
social interaction and development with their peers and at the same time impacts
negatively on their academic progress. This can result to low self-esteem, social
isolation and dissatisfaction that could well have precipitated non-attendance in the
parents and the society in general, as well as for the pupils in particular. Unaccepted
absence has a negative effect on peer relationship which could cause absence.

The society also suffers as the children of school age hang around in the streets. They
can be found just gallivanting around. Since they have nothing to do, they resort to
petty crimes like stealing other people’s belongings and properties. Others may resort
to drug addiction and other behavior that is detrimental to society. Thus, if the student
keeps on being away from school for too long, he may grow up to be a liability of his
community and of his country as a whole.It is the aim of every school to lessen, if not
eradicate absenteeism among its students. One way of addressing this problem is to
identify the causes why students become truant from school. Once they are singled
out, understood and analyzed, specific actions and measures can be undertaken. This
will eventually redound to the better performance of the students, teachers and the
school in general.

Research Questions
Purpose of this study is made to find out the factors that influence student
absences to class. As well, this study helps the school of Nabuswang Elementary
School, overcome absenteeism among grade five and six pupils. In addition, we also
take the responsibility of in given awareness to each student on the future impact on
the attitude of those who prefer not to attend the class and take easily for this kind of
attitude.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design:
This paper described the topic in descriptive form; all the details were discussed all
over the paper with given supportive details and citation to make the information
concrete.
This study used the purposive sampling ,it is a form non-probably sampling in which
researchers rely on their own judgement when choosing members of the population to
participate in their study. The researchers purposely choose the selected pupils of
Grade 5 and 6 student of Nabuswang Elementary School.
RESULTS,ANALYSIS,AND DISCUSSIONS
The survey was done utilizing the survey questions and the result was tallied and will
be scrutinized accordingly. The complexity of the Survey Sheet was intentionally
prepared to extract valid and trustworthy answers from the subject population. The
explicit outcome of the answers will be categorized in factors that affect their
punctuality values in attending to their classes or other learning related activities.
This will be classified as Personal factors, Teacher Related Factors and Home
Related Factors and further be classified according to the details of each factor. The
presentation will be done according to the intention of the researcher to shed light on
this tricky rationalization.

Variables Mean SD VI
0-2 days 1.79 0.522 often
3-5 days 2.05 1.085 Very often
6-10 days 1.84 0.78 often
As a whole 1.89 0.62 often
Note. 4.50 – 5.00 (Always); 3.50 – 4.49 (Rarely); 2.50 – 3.49 (Sometimes);
1.50 – 2.4 (Very often); 1.00 – 1.49 (Never)
The "Very often" classification across all categories indicates a consistent and high
occurrence of the measured variable. Further clarification on the nature of the variable is
needed for a more in-depth interpretation.The higher standard deviation in the "3-5 days"
category suggests more variability in responses compared to the other categories.

A. PERSONAL FACTORS
The higher mean which is the weather is rainy suggests that, on average, respondents
occasionally consider rainy weather as a reason for absenteeism. The standard
deviation indicates variability in responses, implying that while some find it rarely a
reason, others might perceive it more frequently.The mean of 2.08 indicates that, on
average, respondents frequently consider the distance to school as a reason for
absenteeism. The higher standard deviation implies variability in individual
perceptions.Similar to the distance factor, the mean of 2.08 suggests that the lack of
accompaniment is frequently considered a reason for absenteeism. The higher
standard deviation indicates varied individual perspectives.The mean of 1.92 suggests
that, on average, respondents frequently consider disliking school as a reason for
absenteeism. The high standard deviation implies varied perceptions.The low mean of
1.04 indicates that respondents rarely or never consider incomplete assignments as a
reason for absenteeism. The very low standard deviation suggests a high level of
agreement among respondents.The mean of 1.64 suggests that, on average,
respondents frequently consider waking up late as a reason for absenteeism. The
higher standard deviation implies variability in individual perceptions.he low mean of
1.08 suggests that respondents rarely or never consider online gaming addiction as a
reason for absenteeism. The very low standard deviation indicates a high level of
agreement among respondents.
B. HOME-RELATED FACTORS
The mean of 1.00 indicates that, on average, respondents never consider family
problems as a reason for absenteeism. The absence of variability (SD: 0.00) suggests
a unanimous agreement among respondents on this matter.The mean of 1.00 indicates
that, on average, respondents never consider family problems as a reason for
absenteeism. The absence of variability (SD: 0.00) suggests a unanimous agreement
among respondents on this matter.The mean of 1.92 suggests that, on average,
respondents frequently consider helping their family with household chores as a
reason for absenteeism. The higher standard deviation indicates variability in
individual perceptions.The mean of 1.84 suggests that, on average, respondents
frequently consider their parents' lack of concern about attending school as a reason
for absenteeism. The higher standard deviation implies varied individual
perceptions.The mean of 2.68 suggests that, on average, respondents sometimes
consider helping their parents with work as a reason for absenteeism. The higher
standard deviation indicates variability in individual perceptions .The mean of 2.88
suggests that, on average, respondents sometimes consider taking care of their
siblings as a reason for absenteeism. The higher standard deviation indicates
variability in individual perceptions.
Among all the causes presented, home related factor is the primary reason why
pupils are absent from their classes. “I take good care of my siblings” to be absent is

parents about the benefit of keeping their children in school. Emphasize to them
that if they keep on asking their children to be absent, this will set a bad example to
the child. If the parents themselves are keeping the child away from school, they must
believe that household concerns are more important than their education. Emphasize
school. Motivate them so they will be looking forward to attending their classes
regularly. For those who wake up late, encourage them to get an alarm clock. Do not
scold the pupils who come late. Give them a time-table to change their sleeping habits
and to study before bed instead of watching TV or playing computer games. Ensure
students should be a priority. Older children, like grade five and six students, tend to
have louder voices so they should be taught how to speak softly and without needing
to shout. The key here is discipline. The teacher must also see to it that the students
are comfortable and have no other concerns except the lesson at hand. There should
be a lively interaction between the teacher and the students, but the teacher should see
to it that noise is modulated so as not to distract pupils from their learning. Refrain
wrong doing in a most diplomatic manner. Self-control should be a virtue which the
teacher should practice in the course of her teaching everyday of the school week.
