Attendance is a must for learning. The presence of a child in a classroom is important because learning happened every day. If a child is not in school most of the time there is no learning at all.
There are so many factors that contribute to the absent of a child in school. One main reason why a child got a habit of being absent is poverty they earn for a living instead of going to school. Financial Problem is also one reason. They don’t have the money that will suffice their hunger. A child with an empty stomach and is hungry will surely complain for stomachache. The child’s attention to the lesson will be totally disturbed and will tend to go home and miss their classes.
With the home visitation religiously done by the teacher all of this factors where considered and the school with its best tries to do remedies to reduce the case of absentism.
