Abstract

This study investigates the effect of absenteeism of teachers in public secondary schools on students’ academic performance. Primary data was obtained using a semi-structured questionnaire which has both open and closed-ended questions; while secondary data was obtained through journal and books. The study was conducted in the Tandahimba district Mtwara region. The district has a population of 227,514 people (URT, 2013). The study findings show that we can see clearly how teacher absence affects students’ academic performance. On the other hand, this problem culminates in the differential performance of students who come from different levels of backgrounds. The study concludes that poor students in most cases underperform due to lack of money to pay for the extra lessons and the rich ones have the opportunity to pay for the extra lessons to compensate for the lost lessons in their schools due to teacher absenteeism.
