Focus

NaSIA indicated, that its  study specifically focuses on teachers’ attendance at official duties on behalf of the school, one of the three causes of Teacher Absenteeism identified by UNICEF.

”The study aims at exploring the types of official duties teachers attend during school hours and whether there are measures in place to ensure a teacher’s absence is not greatly felt by learners.” NaSIA said.
