Abstract

The theme of this study is: Analysis of the strategies adopted by the school community regarding absenteeism among third-cycle students at Mahoche Primary School (2021). The work is qualitative and quantitative in nature and used bibliographic research, semi-structured interviews, and a questionnaire. The objective of this study was to analyze the strategies adopted by the school community regarding absenteeism among third-cycle students at Mahoche Primary School (2021). Specifically, it sought to identify the causes of absenteeism among third-cycle students at Mahoche Primary School (2021). To describe the strategies adopted by the school community to mitigate absenteeism among 3rd cycle students at Mahoche Elementary School (2021) and to assess the impact of the strategies adopted by the school community to mitigate absenteeism among 3rd cycle students at Mahoche Elementary School (2021), involving a sample consisting of 3 teachers, 1 administrator, and 40 parents and/or guardians. The study concluded that household chores and childcare in exchange for money were identified as the main causes of school absenteeism, associated with students' lack of time management and dedication to their studies. Other causes include the long distances traveled from home to school, as well as a poor school environment influenced by poor peer relationships and a lack of desks in the classrooms, forcing some students to sit on the floor. As a strategy to overcome the problem of student absenteeism, ongoing dialogue and student awareness about the disadvantages of missing school have been encouraged, along with student incentives and the incorporation of attendance into assessment criteria.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
