The respondents provided various reasons for their absences. Respondent 1 mentioned time
constraints, illness, part-time work, and personal choice as contributing factors. Respondent 2
cited work responsibilities and family emergencies as reasons for absences. Respondent 3
mentioned illness as the primary reason for missing classes.
Discussion of the Responses:
The responses reveal that both external and personal factors contribute to absenteeism. Time
constraints, work responsibilities, and personal choices were identified as common reasons for
absences. Additionally, illness emerged as a significant factor affecting attendance. These
reasons highlight the need for flexibility in scheduling and the development of strategies to
address the impact of external commitments on students' attendance.
Supporting Studies:
Research conducted by Chen et al. (2020) indicates that work-related responsibilities can
significantly impact students' attendance and academic performance. Furthermore, studies by
Jackson and Einarsdottir (2018) and Thompson et al. (2021) emphasize the impact of health-
related issues on absenteeism among students and employees.
