This study, qualitative in nature, set out to identify the most
common factors contributing to absenteeism amongst Bangladeshi
pupils in Westminster, London. Cross-sectional examination of the
perceptually developed hypotheses was mainly carried out in five
primary schools and one secondary school, located in different
geographical areas of the Westminster Local Education Authority.
The sample included 140 pupils (100 primary and 40 secondary), most
of their parents guardians, head teachers, teachers, home-school
liaison workers, community leaders/workers, Westminster Education
Welfare Officers, LEA Officers and Attendance Advisor at DfES.
Semi-structured interview and questionnaire schedules were used as
the main tools for data generation. The findings of the study
suggested that poor health was the most prevalent reason for low
attendance among the focus group, followed by extended holidays
which resulted in considerable numbers of absences - both
authorised and unauthorised. Family poverty did not evidently
appear to be a causal explanatory issue for poor health and low
attendance of the pupils.
