 CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM
INTRODUCTION
The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) found that a significant number of
Philippines public school students are absent from school, for various social reasons, emotional
reasons, and psychological reasons. reported being concerned about being absent from school
in Reason (Greenfield, 2002). This student behavior is detrimental not only to our education
system, but also to our country. Not only do we take risks, we contribute to an increase in
student numbers and negatively impact the education system and the state of the country.
These not only affect schools by preventing educational leaders from maintaining a continuous,
information-gap-free and effective educational program for their students, but also affect
students and families socially and emotionally. It challenges society to determine how to provide
its human needs (Reed, 2000).
Students who arrive late to class not only disrupt the time slot but also the lecturer and
other students. If a lecturer is mid-sentence, perhaps sharing a crucial point, they will be
interrupted or disrupted by a student who arrived late, which will cause them to lose focus on
the point they were going to make. In order to prepare pupils for the industry, punctuality must
be emphasized. In order to reduce tardiness overall, policies must exist and be actively
monitored in schools.
According to Fuller (2013), tardiness among students has its own negative
repercussions. It is emphasized that lateness or tardiness is not just a problem for the late
student but also, it can affect the surrounding people. Students are late for a variety of reasons,
but being late to their classes can become a negative habit that can cause either poor
performance at school. When a student arrives late for class, the other pupils become distracted
and the lesson's flow is disrupted.

The teacher's discussion is even burdensome for the late pupils' fellow students. inquire
what you should catch up on (Nakpodia and Dafiaghor, 2011). Additionally, tardy students run
the risk of falling behind on their assignments. They may experience tension as a result of
having to complete chores they missed, and it could even result in additional stress.
