Abstract

This study explores some determinants of truancy behavior among Nigerian primary school pupils. Comparing a sample of 100 truant pupils with a control group of non-truants drawn from the same population, the results of the study led to the following conclusions: the degree of domestic responsibilities determines to a significant extent pupils' school-attending behavior; truancy is a “disease of the poor”; truancy and academic success are mutually exclusive.

  • Accounts of school withdrawal in non-Westernized countries emphasize assistance provided at home and in the family business.

    “Accounts of SW in non-Westernized countries emphasize assistance provided at home (e.g., looking after other children; collecting water; Amatu, 1981) and in the family business (e.g., farm help during busy harvesting seasons; Obondo & Dhadphale, 1990).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
