    This study examines the reasons for absenteeism among senior high school students at Pinsao National High School. Previous research has found that absenteeism can negatively impact student outcomes by causing them to miss lessons, activities, assignments and assessments. While illness and family responsibilities are common reasons for absenteeism, lack of student motivation and feeling unsafe at school may also be contributing factors. Nationwide data from the Philippines shows that absenteeism affects around 11% of the country's student population. The researchers aim to better understand the specific reasons for absenteeism at their school in order to address the problem.

    INTRODUCTION

    Background of the Study

    Going to school was one of the factors in getting a high grade, teachers always say that

    phrase especially in the first days of school. Not attending school was one of the major reasons why

    students failed because they missed some school lessons, activities, assignments, quizzes, and also

    tests. It has also been observed that the teachers still have some questions in their minds about why

    the students do not always attend school. The researchers also observed that some of the students

    have to cut classes in order to cope with the activities they missed, which also leads to a consecutive

    number of absences.

    In fact, attendance was really important, especially for the students. (San Diego Unified

    School’s District, 2008). To further emphasise this, the San Diego Unified School District also said that

    by going to school every day, they will learn more because they will not miss any daily teachings,

    homework, tests, or quizzes. But why do you think most students do not attend school? One of the

    main reasons they did not attend was the lack of motivation of the students (Abdullah et al.,

    2017).Yet there are still many reasons for absenteeism. Some reasons are that some students do not

    attend school because of illness, family responsibilities, feeling unsafe in school, and also because of

    poverty. That is why they do not see the purpose of attending school; they would do something else

    instead. (Balfanz & Byrnes, 2017). UNICEF also has this statistical evidence that the population of

    absenteeism already reaches 11% among the 12,590,805 students in the Philippines.
