This article analyses social variables that cause student absenteeism from mathematics
classes. It contrasts teachers’ perceptions with the perceptions of students undertaking their second
and third levels of a Bachelor’s degree in Physics and Chemistry at the Pedagogical Graduate School
(PGS) of Namibe, Angola. To perform this analysis, a Likert scale questionnaire was undertaken
and descriptive and inferential statistical tests, a correlation analysis, a variance analysis, and a
multivariate factorial analysis were carried out on the data. The results showed that lack of financial
and emotional support from students’ families and the students’ discomfort upon moving to the
educational centre were reasons behind absenteeism in mathematics lessons.
