1.0 Introduction

This chapter looks at the background to the study, statement of the problem, major aim of the study, specific objectives, research questions, hypotheses, scope, significance and justification of the study.

1.1   Back ground to the study

Johns(2007), defines absenteeism as failing to report for scheduled work. According to Gorff, etal, (1990), absenteeism refers to scheduled or unscheduled employee absences from workplace. The definition of absenteeism in this study is going to be looked at as the habit of not being at school when you should be, especially with out a good reason. Absenteeism is a violation of a social obligation of missing work at a particular time.
