The study made use of a qualitative approach and case study design. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to selected participants. Research instruments used to collect data were documentary analysis, interview and observation.

Findings established factors such as personal, school and environmental contribute much to teacher absenteeism. Furthermore, the study established that teacher absenteeism had deadly effects on learner academic performance because mostly there is no completion of the syllabus and pupils develop indiscipline behaviours. The study also revealed that teacher absenteeism has an effect towards low achievement of the pupils. It makes teachers not to complete the syllabus, causes differential performances among pupils and a decline in discipline is inevitable. In order to reduce the teacher absenteeism, the study recommended that there is a need to readdress the effects of school, personal and environment factors on teacher absenteeism by teachers themselves and the relevant public authorities. In addition, the study recommended that there is a need for regular supervision by the entrusted authorities to do the supervisory activities like the District Education Board Secretary (DEBS) office and heads of the schools.
