ABSTRACT
The purpose of this research was to investigate the influence
on learner's absenteeism on their academic progress in
Kabarnet division, Baringo district in Kenya.
The following objectives guided the study; to establish the
prevalence and causes of absenteeism, to establish the
relationship between absenteeism and poor academic
performance and to find out if absenteeism affects the
children's retention in school. The respondents were teachers
since they were the people with first hand information about
the learners. A questionnaire was used to carry out this
investigation. Finding of the study showed that absenteeism
was rampant in school and the causes were both home based
and school based factors, and that some learners performed
poorly because of absenteeism and in some cases they
dropped out of school. It was recommended that teachers
change their attitude towards their learners and make learning interesting. They should also counsel the learners.
