Research title: Examining the Effect of Students Attendance on their academic performance

Background of the study:

This study is all about attendance in school, which means being present at the time. This study is

also about how attendance affect students academic performance. Students attendance is

significant for a lot of reasons. Studies showing a relationship between attendance and higher

grades demonstrate the major effect that regular attendance has on academic achievement. Thus,

students who attend class regularly are able to prevent losing out on important chances, such as

information about scholarships or test preparation advice (Montauban, N., 2023). Moreover,

findings have been reported by Ehrenberg et al. (1991) and Lamdin (1996), who show that

students who attend more frequently are likely to pass standardized achievement tests more

frequently. At the same time, attending class regularly guarantees that students can expand on the

information and abilities they learned in earlier classes (Rusd, J. D., 2023).

On the other hand, being absent mostly affects students' grades and learning skills. First of all,

since consistent attendance is important for academic achievement, students who do not

regularly attend class will receive low grades. It is because regular absences can lead to

incomplete homework, missing assignments, and a poor comprehension of the subject matter

taught in class. Secondly, students who skip school lose out important learning opportunities,

which can result in a loss of information and abilities. Additional tutoring may be required as a

result, which could be expensive for parents. Thirdly, when absentees come back to class, they
frequently have trouble concentrating and staying focused. They could have trouble keeping up

with the lecture and are easily sidetracked. This may have a detrimental effect on learning

objectives and increase the challenges to their academic success. It can even lead to expulsion of

the students because of not following the school rules.

The goal of this study is to make students prioritize academic performance. And to make them

present at all times to prevent failure in academic performance. This study is also used to sharpen

their learning skills and help them focus on their studies. To make them attend school regularly

and to develop strong learning skills. This study also aims to lessen students who does not attend

school and make them prioritize theirs studies and academic success.
