Education has become highly competitive and commercial in many countries. It is on the basis of high academic performance that students get selected to good secondary schools, better courses of study, and eventually better jobs. Academic achievement has become a yardstick of self-worth and success while academic performance is a complex behavior. Meanwhile, education research has identified many factors that predict students’ academic performance, especially cognitive ability and personality variables; little has focused on attendance rates.
