Sažetak
The aim is to determine if there is any relation between some anthropological characteristics and school absenteeism. A set of 6 variables (predictors) was applied to estimate features of 79 grammar senior class schoolgirls and 3 absenteeism variables (criteria - a total number of skipped classes and the excused and unexcused number of skipped classes). Regression analysis showed a statistically signifi cant relation between the anthropological characteristics and every single school absenteeism variable The results showed primary biotic needs of young population have been threatened by their school absenteeism (among them PE classes, too). Teachers are trying to restore the balance by requesting parents’ collaboration in solving this serious issue of enhancing avoidance of school obligations.
