A consistent class attendance is an important factor in academic success of any student. In defense to this, several studies have since quantitatively confirmed this, revealing that absenteeism negatively affects the students’ performance. This because, the students that miss classes on a given date are meaningfully more likely to give incorrect response to questions provided to them in relation to the session materials as compared to those that were present. Nevertheless, there also exist other external factors apart from absenteeism that affects the students’ performance such as, the quiz performance, academic ability and the student’s gender. Institutions should ensure that they are responsive to issues pertaining to student absenteeism. Programs can also be adopted, those that are designed to assist the student with tendency of absenteeism; community juvenile justice agencies and community based programs. The institution can also adapt to practices and policies ensuring that the students attend classes rather than pushing them out. On the other hand the student’s families can also be involved with the institutions working hand in hand with the parents in solving such problems.
From the random sampled data we see that the students’ performance was majorly affected in reading as compared to math. For instance, from the table we can see that whenever absenteeism was recorded to be high, the student performance in reading was highly affected. Take for example, when the days absent was 4 the students’ performance in reading was 297 while in math the students’ performance was recorded to be 275. When the days absent was recorded to be 45 the students’ performance in reading was also recorded to be high at 295 as compared to the students math performance which was recorded to be 289. When there was no absenteeism, the math performance was on the other hand highly recorded as compared to that of reading. From this point of view we see that student’s absenteeism majorly affected the students’ performance in reading.

The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
The independent variable will be the positive reinforcement as represented by the incentive program. The study will be examined by examining increases or decreases on the overall attendance rate of students before application of an incentive program and then after the incentive program has been in effect for at least 1/2 of the school year. It is expected increases or decreases in the truancy rates will be due to
1. Introduction The modern 21st century has posed new challenges for the organizations to survive and grow (Smith et al. 2010). As they are operated and managed by human beings, the challenges are ultimately faced by the individuals who are responsible for making decisions and implementing them (Nieuwenhuizen, Weiss and Rossouw, 2009). As challenges are multifaceted, and human lives are divided into various aspects, it is difficult to excel in every

This includes working within politics to help provide the necessary tools to tackle the problem of rising numbers of asthmatic children; "A dialogue must start now with policymakers to determine how to pay for community based asthma services which are currently not reimbursable under Medicaid," (Nicholas et al. 2005:248). As more and more children are beginning to show signs of
