This article analyses social variables that cause student absenteeism from mathematics classes. It contrasts teachers’ perceptions with the perceptions of students undertaking their second and third levels of a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Chemistry at the Pedagogical Graduate School (PGS) of Namibe, Angola. To perform this analysis, a Likert scale questionnaire was undertaken and descriptive and inferential statistical tests, a correlation analysis, a variance analysis, and a multivariate factorial analysis were carried out on the data. The results showed that lack of financial and emotional support from students’ families and the students’ discomfort upon moving to the educational centre were reasons behind absenteeism in mathematics lessons.

“…In these studies, the reasons for the problem of absenteeism at various levels of education were exposed based on the opinions of stakeholders such as students, teachers, administrators, and inspectors.

Student absenteeism continues to be one of the most significant impediments preventing educational institutions from reaching their objectives.. This study aimed to evaluate the present status of student absenteeism, its impacts on educational environments, and the relevant policies available. The study group of the research, which was conducted in 2019, and used the basic qualitative research design, consisted of 22 participants who were teachers, administrators, experts, and inspectors working in different parts of Turkey. The data were collected through a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. According to the participants, absenteeism negatively affects students’ academic and social development. It damages the relationships between the student and teacher and the relationship between the school and the parents. Teachers face difficulties in classroom management due to deficiencies in learning, and schools deviate from their goals. School administrators lose time dealing with absenteeism procedures instead of engaging in educational subjects, and thus, their resources become wasted. To prevent absenteeism, intervention should be considered primarily about students at risk through an early warning system, precautions that are appropriate to the region should be taken, and collaborations with stakeholders are recommended.

In this respect, schools have intensified the need to concentrate on strategic planning for making school managements in quality context. The key term in quality for the school management is to focus on risk management. Risk management covers the potential pitfalls before facing threats. Therefore, strategy and policy establishment are important for managing the risks. In the first step, monitoring risks and examining opportunities and weaknesses are the major attempts to reach out quality. This research encapsulates examination of risk management in schools and current strategies and policies for the risks in the school cultures within qualitative nature. Experiences of headmasters and vice headmasters were gathered through interview. Thematic analysis was conducted to examine themes: culture of schools, strategy and policy of schools, and risk management. Research results revealed that headmasters and vice headmasters are aware of risk management. Schools are not enough to practice policies and strategies for establishing a school culture. It is seen that school culture and quality can be empowered through setting risk management and setting further policies and strategies.
