“…The students' notoriousness is not only confined to smoking cigarettes, fighting with each other or behaving obscenely but also involve running away from home, free sex and mingling. According to Javier et al (2020), students are now willing to join terrible syndicates and become gangsters, murderers, burglars with or without firearms. They also engage in rape, prostitution, gambling, vandalism, drug abuse, alcoholism, and pornography.…”

One of the most serious disciplinary issues is student truancy. Researchers in this study want to know how truancy affects academic achievement among Junior High School pupils in Ghana's Ashanti Mampong Municipality. The data was collected using descriptive and correlational research methodologies, as well as a questionnaire. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to determine the sample size of 331, which included 206 pupils and 25 teachers. Teachers' attitudes, corporal punishment/bullying, lack of parental supervision, broken households, peer influence, and poverty are the primary predictors of truancy among Junior High School pupils, according to the study's findings. There is also a positive association between school environment and truancy in this study. The outcomes of this study, once again, show a favorable link between parental socioeconomic position and truancy. In terms of the study's hypotheses, the researchers were unable to accept or deny the first and second hypotheses, respectively, based on the findings. Based on these findings, pupils should be taught about the dangers of being a truant. Parents should be encouraged to address their children's physical and emotional requirements. Parents should also keep an eye on their children to ensure that they complete their homework and attend school on a regular basis. Again, education groups and the government should work together to ensure that every child of school age attend school.

“…YwT are marginalized through experiences of diminished educational opportunities and a lifetime of associated problems. Thus, international research has found associations between truancy and underachievement (Khan et al, 2019), unemployment (Garry, 1996), delinquency, drug involvement, and criminal activity (Gerth, 2020;Javier et al, 2020), as well as school dropout and incarceration (Iverson et al, 2016).…”

Truancy, a complex, unresolved educational issue in countries with compulsory attendance policies, has the potential to cause further educational inequity in times of a global COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of this study, there was a paucity of research regarding youth perspectives of truancy compared to adult perspectives. To address this gap in truancy scholarship, data from a grounded theory study were used to indicate how a sample of 13 students who were truant in New Zealand explained their experiences of reinclusion in learning after persistent absences. Findings showed that support by a significant adult, not necessarily a teacher, and peers were vital in helping youth who are truant to develop a positive and determined attitude to reengage with learning. Results will support school leaders, counsellors, and teachers to further develop inclusive approaches that promote student well-being and achievement.
