The Challenge
Schools face various challenges when it comes to attendance and behavioural issues. One of the main challenges is the high rate of student absences. Whether it is due to illness, family circumstances, or lack of motivation, frequent absences can significantly impact a student's academic progress and overall achievement. Moreover, schools must also deal with behavioural challenges, such as disruptive behaviour, aggression, or lack of discipline. These behaviours not only disrupt the learning environment but can also hinder the academic and social development of other students.
