This study examined the relationship between student absenteeism, personal factors, family factors, and academic achievement. 423 high school students participated. The findings showed that absenteeism was negatively related to academic self-perception, attitudes towards school, motivation, and academic performance. Absenteeism also differed based on parents' education and income levels. Personal and family factors significantly predicted past and current absenteeism. Past absenteeism also predicted past academic achievement, and past absenteeism and achievement can predict current absenteeism. The study aimed to identify factors influencing student absences and determine which gender is most affected to help improve absenteeism issues.

associated previous absenteeism (T1) and current absenteeism (T2). Results also

absenteeism. Table 1 provides the detailed results of these correlation analyses
and descriptive statistics.
