Causes of school non-attendance: teachers’ opinion

School’s nonattendance is a big problem not only in Lithuania but in the whole world. It can‘t be dissociate from national economy and social culture. This problem relates with poverty, unemployment, alcoholism, the drug habit, bad family social position and because of changes in social worthies. In other words school’s nonattendance is social problem which needs systematic solution because it is includes work of education, social sphere, legalese and other institutes. The subject of research is to know teachers’ opinion about school’s nonattendance reasons and to show teachers efforts in solving this problem by training methods and keeping terms with students. The tasks of my work is to assess how many lessons through school year misses students in exploratory schools; to know teachers opinion about main students nonattendance reasons which comes to school and family; to explore teachers and students, form master‘s and pupils intercommunion and to know teachers opinion about that; to educe methods which use teachers to interest students; to ascertain who helps to solve students nonattendance reasons. In my work I compared some schools in research dimensions. In research participated 86 teachers from 3 schools (one town school and two village schools). Work methods: questionnaire survey. The main conclusion: teachers think that most of the parents allow their children attending school. However parents have problems to let them to school because of hard material situation, addictions and too little attention for their children. School‘s nonattendance reasons lie in pupils peculiarity, the biggest problem is lack of motivation, intercommunion with teachers and friends. However teachers see their work mistakes. They say that for children it is not interesting at school, it is very hard to interest them in their schoolwork
