CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Oxford Advanced learner Dictionary (2001) defined ‘cause’ as:
(I) The person or thing that makes something happen;
(II) A reason for having particular feeling or behaving in a particular way;
(III) An organization or idea that people support or fight,
(IV) A case that goes to court of law.
Encyclopedia wikipedea (2009) opined that ‘cause’, as it relates to the research topic is what makes something happen or a reason for behaving in a
particular way. In the same context, Micros
Encarta (2009) defines solution as a way of solving a problem or dealing with a diicult
situation or undesirable behavior.
Truancy is any intentional unauthorized absence from schooling. The term typically describes absence caused by students of their own free will, and
usually does not refer to legitimate “excused ” absence. It may also refer to students who attend school but do not go to classes, (wikipedea 2009).
In the same vain, Nwachukwu (2004) said that a truant is one who absents him/herself from classes and school functions, comes late to classes and
returns days or even weeks are the beginning of each term without any good permission. Meanwhile Nwachukwu (1999) opined that if a student’s character
does not conform with the already mapped out rules and regulations with regards to class attendance and other school activities, that such student is regarded as a truant.
