Chronic absenteeism negatively affects learning outcomes by disrupting students’ engagement with the curriculum. Missing significant instructional time leads to gaps in foundational knowledge, making it harder for students to keep up with peers. This academic disconnection can result in lower grades, reduced social skills, and increased dropout rates. Furthermore, chronic absenteeism may foster a negative school culture, affecting not just the absentee but also the classroom environment. Addressing this issue through targeted interventions is crucial for promoting a positive educational experience and encouraging consistent attendance.
