90% Attendance 20 days of school missed

             It is important to note that these students have missed a significant amount of
             learning, which may hinder their ability to catch up effectively. This lack of engage-
             ment can adversely impact their academic progress and may lead to the develop-

             ment of negative habits that could carry over into their secondary school experi-
             ence.

             85% Attendance 20 days of school missed
             This absenteeism raises serious concerns, as it significantly hinders their learning

             and makes it difficult to catch up with their peers. Such extended absences can have
             a lasting impact on their academic progress and may lead to the development of
             poor habits that could affect their performance in secondary school.


             The benefits for children with good attendance and punctuality include:
             •  Higher motivation to learn and attend school
             •   More confidence in themselves and their learning
