Abstract
This study examines the influence of demographic factors on school absenteeism among kindergarten learners using a descriptive-quantitative research design. Data were collected from 50 respondents through demographic questionnaires, attendance records, and structured surveys. Stratified random sampling ensured balanced representation across age, gender, socioeconomic status, and distance from school. Findings reveal that most demographic variables, including age, educational attainment, family income, number of children, and proximity to school, are not significantly associated with absenteeism. However, gender emerged as a significant factor influencing absenteeism causes (p = 0.037). The primary reasons for absenteeism were linked to minor social factors, such as staying at home with parents or spending time with friends, while serious issues like bullying, health problems, and academic stress were largely insignificant. These findings underscore the importance of fostering stronger family-school collaboration and addressing social distractions to enhance attendance. Overall, the study highlights the need for targeted strategies to maintain high attendance rates and optimize learning outcomes.
