Abstract
This study examines the influence of demographic factors on school absenteeism among kindergarten learners, focusing on its causes and impact on academic performance. Employing a descriptive-quantitative research design, the study collected data from kindergarten learners, parents, and teachers using structured surveys and academic performance records. Findings reveal that health-related reasons, such as illness or medical appointments, are the primary occasional cause of absenteeism, while social distractions, fear of exams, and bullying are minimal contributors. Additionally, the highest educational attainment of parents significantly influences absenteeism rates, as parents with higher education levels are more likely to ensure regular attendance. Other demographic factors, including age, gender, income, number of children, and proximity to school, showed no significant impact on absenteeism. These findings underscore the importance of addressing health-related barriers and enhancing parental education to reduce absenteeism and improve academic outcomes. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to education and consistent attendance among young learners. https://doi.org/10.30075/wjher.4.4
