Non attendance of school is a worldwide problem. It existed for ages. However it got to be comprehensive when we began to realize the policy (the law of education of Lithuania claims that all children and teenagers under 16 must attend school) of compulsory education. Many teachers and parents encounter unwillingness of children to learn and attend school and face the problem of nonattendance. While taking care of nonattendance of pupils, it is important to characterize them. These pupils usually have no wish to attend or attend not properly, commit crimes or stay in the street. At school they irritate teachers, prevent from giving lessons, have problems in learning. Such children feel repudiated by their friends, avoid showing their feelings and joking, they are unable to concentrate and are impulsive. Very often such children are either super responsible or having no responsibility at all. They are very difficult to communicate, don’t think about possible consequences, difficult to achieve aims. Not full and discordant families, use of drugs and alcohol in families, constant rows and conflicts between parents, lack of emotional relationship between parents and children, various mistakes of upbringing and other possible factors negatively influence child’s personality and forming of his interests. Organizing the activity of children we have to stimulate their interests, excite their curiosity and purposefully direct this activity. Intending to change the attitude of risk... [to full text]

Lietuvos bendrojo lavinimo mokyklos bendrosiose programose pažymima, kad visas bendrasis ugdymas yra orientuotas į vaiką, jaunuolį, jaunuolę, jų poreikius ir gebėjimus. Todėl šiandieninės mokyklos tikslas — padėti asmeniui maksimaliai išskleisti individualias kūrybos galias ir gebėjimus, tenkinant jo įgimtas reikmes: savirealizacijos — savęs įprasminimo, laisvės, meilės, pagarbos, kūrybos, tvarkos ir darnos poreikius. Tačiau šiuolaikinėje visuomenėje mokyklos autoritetas mažėja, moksleivių lankomumas prastėja, o motyvacija mokytis taip pat turi neigiamą tendenciją. Siekiant atsakyti į šiuos klausimus autorė analizuoja vieną aktualiausių šiandienos mokyklos problemų- tai mokinių nenoras lankyti mokyklą. Mokinių nenoro lankyti mokyklą yra ne tik švietimo sistemos, bet ir visos Lietuvos valstybės nuostolis, todėl jau kurį laiką Lietuvoje sprendžiama nelankančiųjų mokyklos iki 16 metų apskaita ir sąlygų grįžti į švietimo sistemą sudarymas. Mokyklos nelankymo problema, mokinių požiūriu į mokyklą ir į mokymąsi, domėtasi visais laikais. Priežastys, kodėl mokiniai vengia lankyti mokyklos aktualios nuo pat mokslo atsiradimo iki šių dienų, o vaikų vengimas lankyti mokyklą yra aktualus ir tapęs socialine problema netik Lietuvoje, bet ir užsienyje, nes morališkai ir ekonomiškai susilpnėjo esminė vaiko saugumą garantuojanti institucija — šeima: tėvų abejingumas, nesidomėjimas vaiko mokymusi; nenoras mokytis, motyvacijos stoka; sunki mokymo programa; prastas mikroklimatas ir t.t.

Reluctance of students to attend school is the loss not only in the education system, but also in general context of Lithuania as a state. The accounting and the return of the education system of students under the age of 16 who do not attend school in Lithuania has already been in solving process for some time.
