In an effort to understand and improve Zambia’s remarkably low education scores, the Zambia National Education Coalition (ZANEC) undertook an absenteeism study to examine the causes of teacher absenteeism and to identify strategies for improving teacher/pupil contact hours at the basic school level. They found that the average rate of absenteeism was 24%, with numbers soaring to 57% in certain areas, and was due largely to poor monitoring, supervision, and inspections.
