The study investigated the impact of child labour on pupils’ attendance; in selected
primary schools at Lushoto District, Tanga. Specifically, it examined the magnitude
of child labour, nature of pupils’ child labour and its effects on school attendance as
well as stakeholders’ perceptions on child labour effects on pupils’ attendance. The
study employed qualitative research approach with some quantitative elements.
Besides the study used cross -section research design. Mainly the study was guided
by Exploitation theory. Data were collected from 105 respondents through
unstructured and semi- structured interviews, documentary review and focus group
discussion. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze data thematically while on the
other hand computing frequencies and percentages was done by using Statistical
Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 16.0.
Findings of this study revealed that child labour was prevalent among primary
school pupils which was literally because of hardships in life and sometimes
carelessness nature of pupils’ themselves. The study also revealed that household or
domestic works, small scale business and agricultural activities were the most
prevalent forms of child labour. On the other hand dropout of school, poor
performances, poor attendances and repeating classes were among main effects of
child labour which were subsequently perceived by stakeholders as a threat for
education goals attainment. Therefore the study discovered that poor parental
awareness was a major factor which contributed to child labour. Importantly, the
study recommended that Lushoto District council should emphasize on community
awareness about importance of education for community development and
protecting child rights The council also should work a little harder to reduce the
problem of poverty by providing loans among members of the community. |
