INTRODUCTION
  The research is entitled as " Causes and Effects of
Absenteeism among Senior High School Students".
The researcher chose this title because absences is
common to Senior High School Students since their
attendance is check per subject not per day, and it
focuses on the issues or reasons on what occurs
continuous absences among students and why is it
important to determine these core factors or elements
contributing to a student’s underperforming attendance

Statement of the 
It seeks to answer the following question:
What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
Problem  Gender
 Section
 What are the causes and effects of absenteeism to
Senior High School Students?
 Does the causes and effects of absenteeism differ
when the respondents are grouped accordingly in
terms of the profile?
Synthesis

 The overall related literature talks about the broad spectrum of factors and
conditions like physical, social, environmental, and even the mental
wholeness of the student is tackled in these related works of various authors
and researchers, in which they conclude that the school and the student’s
parents should have a strong support so their children wouldn’t have any
major personal breakdown that may lead to chronic absenteeism.

 Summary of Findings
 In the data acquired from the survey done, it shows that absenteeism is common
among senior high school students and the subject matter in a certain class can
affect absenteeism among senior high school students
 And the data also shows that long school hours, traffic, and stress from school
works can discourage students from being present in school, that can affect the
daily attendance of students to their respective classes and required school days
 The data also shows that absenteeism can have a great impact on the
performance of the students, and which can lead to further deterioration and
decline of a numerous academic performance and attention span of students, and
another finding that the data provided is that absenteeism can reduce the social
interaction of students to their fellow peers, due to the lack of personal
communication and reciprocity to the people they tend to talk and have
interpersonal relationships

Recommendation

 It is recommended to arrange profile in terms of age and year level

 It is recommended to gather information from a wide variety of respondents.
 It is recommended to group accordingly the respondents
 It is recommended to widen the population of the respondents
