It will be significant in opening up new avenues for policy makers and Non - Governmental Organizations having interest in the child’s learning. Research methods, techniques and instruments established in the current study may be relevant in the future studies targeting other curriculum areas of early childhood education. The parents who are key players in education of the children will be well informed and sensitized on their roles towards achieving the goal of reducing the gap of absenteeism.
