Nowadays there are a lot of development and dissimilarity that may encounter. Mostly

teens/students deal with absenteeism in their schools. It affects their health and their studies the other

causes are their friends, financial problem, lack of interest, etc.

primer tools that people should have that lead them to success even though the transition from Junior

education system wherein it can help them aim the future that they wanted to be. Education has a lot of

benefits that can help to improve the life of every person. The more educated people are the more

strategy for addressing chronic absenteeism. A healthy school environment means students have

regular access to school health services, mental health services, healthy school food, physical education

and activity, healthy school buildings and a supportive school climate. Identifying and implementing

health interventions is a critical step to addressing chronic absenteeism and a key opportunity for

collaboration among multiple sectors, including health, education, public health and the environment.

lead healthy, productive lives.
