Regular school attendance is crucial for students' academic success as it allows them to consistently access lessons, participate in class discussions, and keep up with assignments. Studies have shown a strong correlation between good attendance and higher graduation rates, further leading to better career opportunities. Additionally, consistent presence in school fosters social development and builds important relationships with peers and teachers, contributing to overall well-being and future success.
