    ABSENTEEISM

    For most employers, the habitual absenteeism of an employee will result in, at best, a very poor
    performance review and, at worst, the immediate termination of employment.
    Absenteeism means either habitual evasion of work, or willful absence as in a strike action. It
    does not include involuntary or occasional absence due to valid causes, or reasons beyond
    one's control, such as accidents or sickness. See also attendance management.
    The guy never showed up for work and it made me think he practiced absenteeism and would
    only show up when he wanted.
    The absenteeism of the employee was a factor in the verbal warning as we needed consistent
    participation in the new training method.

    INTRODUCTION

    Absenteeism can be an effect of employee discontent. it can translate into employees taking an
    extraordinary amount of sick days, making excuses for not coming in to work which could
    disrupt productive
    Student absenteeism is when a student misses class. Absenteeism has a significant impact on a
    student's grades. It also sets a bad precedent when they enter the job market.
    Absenteeism is often centered around the frequent or habitual missing of school or work.
    Absenteeism most often occurs in work areas or schools that are not very protective of workers
    or students so they feel that they are unsafe in the area and do not go to school/work

    BODY
    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 behavior that negatively affects the
    performance among students.
    Causes of Absenteeism
    Absenteeism is caused by many factors as such as:
    1. Phobic Adolescence: During this stage in the growth of a teen, there is a lot of fear developed
    as a result of physical changes of the body for example growth of pimples, turbulent emotions
    e.t.c. This scares teens away from school.
    2. Lack of Interest: Students could be lacking interest in the study, which could be as a result of
    content that is difficult for them to grasp hence pushing them away from school.
    3. Teacher approach: The approach used by teachers may not be understood by the student and
    this could lead them to lose interest in school. Punitive attendance policy plays a big role in
    absenteeism too.
    4. Pamperness from the family: Students who get excessive pocket money from their families are
    most likely to absent themselves from school since they need time to spend the money.
    5. Private Couching: Flexible private couching encouraged by some parents could drive a
    number of students away from the conventional school timetable.
    6. Diseases: Some diseases like asthma which requires attention and care as well as an
    environment that is warm and not dusty could make students remain home.
    7. School Infrastructural Facilities: Lack of libraries, sports facilities is a hindrance to attendance
    of school among students.
    8. Entertainment: Accessibility of entertainment facilities like cinemas could divert attention of
    some students from school.
    Absenteeism can lead to depression and also result in poor quality of education as a result of
    time lost while being away from school. It could also lead to moral degradation that leads to drug
    abuse, early pregnancies and unruly behavior.
    Absenteeism can be remedied by providing adequate co-curricular activities to students. It could
    be curbed by creating of clubs and societies to keep students busy when they are out of class.
    Schools should strive to have up to date learning facilities like libraries as well as sporting
    facilities to make students enhance student retention.

    CONCLUSION

    Attendance in classrooms is made compulsory to ensure continuity in the students learning


    process. When a student is regularly absent from class, it has an adverse affect on their academic
    performance. This is because frequent absences may lead to missing out on vital information,
    facts and instructions that result in partial understanding of a topic, submission of incomplete
    work and poor participation in class activities. Some schools also dictate that students should
    have a particular attendance percentage in order to appear for exams. Therefore it is of utmost
    importance that parents ensure that their children attend classes.
    When a student misses a class without giving a proper reason for their absence, it is known as
    absenteeism.Chronic absenteeism is when the student is missing 10% or more of a school
    year. The most common reasons for absenteeism are: sickness, lack of interest in class
    activities and studies, fear of going to school due to bullying and poor peer relations.
    Use different reinforcements to motivate students to attend classes. Pinning an attendance sheet
    on the classroom board is a visual reminder of all the classes they have missed. Rewards can be
    handed out to the student with the maximum attendance (works well in the lower classes) and
    instead of punishments, students with lower attendance can be given the duty of performing
    different class chores (students and teacher can collectively decide this, in advance

    RECOMMENDATION
    Every student deserves a safe and positive learning experience where they are engaged and
    supported to reach their full potential.
    The Student Engagement and Inclusion Guidance provides advice, resources and strategies for
    schools on:

    developing a Student Engagement Policy

    promoting positive student behaviour


    responding to challenging behaviour.
    It outlines how and when to implement appropriate disciplinary measures, and
    provides resources schools can access to support and improve student engagement.
    Ultimately, local school communities know what is best for their school. The Student
    Engagement and Inclusion Guidance recognises this expertise by providing schools with the
    guidance and tools they need to use their local knowledge to create and maintain positive, safe
    and engaging school cultures.
    This Guidance operationalises Ministerial Order 625 - Suspensions and Expulsions, which takes
    effect from 1 March, 2014. It provides guidance as to how you fulfill your obligations under
    Ministerial Order 625.
    The Guidance includes the following components:
    Student Engagement Policy
    Provides advice on the development of a school-based policyContains information on factors
    influencing student behaviour, and guidance on promoting positive behaviour and using a staged
    response to respond to challenging behaviours.
    Strategies and Support Available to Schools
    Details resources available to schools and suggests strategies to support engagement, including
    strategies tailored to specific groups at risk of becoming disengaged.
    Disciplinary Measures
    Provides guidance on when and how to use disciplinary measures, including procedures for
    suspension and expulsion. Suspension and expulsion are serious disciplinary measures and
    should be the last step in a staged response to address challenging student behaviour

    BIBLIOGRAPHY
    Identifying the Cause: Engage in a one-on-one discussion with the student in order to identify
    the probable cause of his absenteeism. This information can help you to better address these
    issues.
    Imparting knowledge: Educate the students regarding the importance of attendance, the adverse
    effects of absenteeism and school rules concerning the same.
    Involving Parents: Parents should be made aware of the excess number of classes missed by
    their child. This can be done by arranging regular meetings and working with parents to plan out
    strategies best suited for their child. For example, in case of health related issues, the teacher can
    arrange for an extra class to help the student with the missed out classes. Parents should also be
    informed of other issues like bullying and poor peer relations, so as to provide the necessary
    support and encouragement.
    Second home: The school is like a second home for students. Therefore, you need to ensure that
    they it is a safe and happy place for them. Teachers should be perceptive to a students
    fluctuating behavioral or performance changes. It is important to develop a warm open relation
    with them and create opportunities that encourage them to approach you with their problems.
    Engaging classroom: Plan for active1, interactive and engaging class sessions to rule out
    boredom and disinterest as causes of absenteeism. This can be done by incorporating various
    active strategies like role playing, debates or through use of technologies like smart boards,
    clickers etc.
    Motivation: Use different reinforcements to motivate students to attend classes. Pinning an
    attendance sheet on the classroom board is a visual reminder of all the classes they have missed.
    Rewards can be handed out to the student with the maximum attendance (works well in the lower
    classes) and instead of punishments, students with lower attendance can be given the duty of
    performing different class chores (students and teacher can collectively decide this, in advance).
    Extracurricular sessions: Organize various clubs and class activities (planning out a birthday or
    festival celebration) and encourage students to participate in the same. This helps break the
    monotony of every day classes and livens up the classroom.
    Thus, we need to try to create an environment of fun and learning and instill in our students a
    positive feel towards studies and class activities, which will in turn reduce absenteeism.
