A semi-structured interview form was used in the interviews with 10 teachers. The data collection tool applied to 155 students is the " "The Scale of Absenteeism Causes." Descriptive analysis technique was used in the analysis of qualitative data. In the analysis conducted of the study, it is observed that there is a difference between the reasons for absenteeism of boys and girls. A significant difference was found between the reasons for absenteeism of the students according to the country they live in. According to teachers, student absenteeism originates from school, students, psychology, and parents.
