"While
occasional school absenteeism may not be problematic, excessive
absenteeism has shown to have a negative impact. Students with poor
attendance records are found to be at a disadvantage both
academically and socially. Compared to their peers, these students
are more at risk of academic under-performance and early school
leaving. They are also at risk of having more restricted
opportunities in terms of further education and employment, and are
likely to experience social and emotional problems in adulthood.[10] Missing
school can be a habit-forming behavior and can be challenging to
deal with despite growing awareness of the causes of absenteeism."
