New Study.com survey reveals educators believe lack of prioritizing school is the top reason

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Chronic absenteeism remains a persistent issue in schools, with 73% of teachers reporting that the issue has remained the same or worsened this school year according to a recent Study.com survey of K-12 teachers. The issue is most pronounced in Title I schools, with nearly 30% more teachers in those school indicating chronic absenteeism is a moderate or significant issue.

Chronic absenteeism – defined as missing 10% or more of the academic school year – continues to hinder student achievement, especially in Title I schools. Title I schools serve high percentages of low-income students. Educators there report severe attendance issues:

73% of teachers in Title I schools say absenteeism has remained the same or worsened this academic year.72% of those educators report frequently seeing patterns of absenteeism within families or communities, compared to 50% of non-Title I teachers.66.5% of Title I teachers report chronic absenteeism as a moderate or significant issue, compared to 38% of non-Title I teachers.

A wide gap in the reason behind chronic absenteeism also exists between Title I teachers and their counterparts in other schools: 70% of Title I educators cite a lack of school prioritization (among students and their parents), often citing basic needs such as housing, food and childcare as direct contributors to absenteeism. By comparison, non–Title I teachers are more likely to mention student mental health stress or voluntary absences like family travel as the top reasons for chronic absenteeism.

Across school types, educators agree on several practical, student-centered strategies to address the issue of chronic absenteeism, starting with parents.

64% of teachers indicate enhanced communication with parents and guardians49% support academic interventions for learning loss36% need improved mental health resources34% recommend resources to address food or shelter insecurities

“We’re seeing a direct correlation between chronic absenteeism and academic performance, especially among historically disadvantaged populations,” explained Dana Bryson, SVP of Social Impact, Study.com. “Students in Title I schools who have higher rates of absenteeism are also falling behind academically. According to the most recent NAEP scores, more than two-thirds of the lower-performing group come from historically disadvantaged populations.”

May 4, 2026

By

HONG KONG, May 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BeGiftHK, a leading professional corporate gift company in Hong Kong, today officially released the “2026 Corporate Gift Purchasing Trends Report.” The report highlights that following profound changes in corporate culture in the post-pandemic era, the Hong Kong B2B gift market has officially moved away from the “low-price, high-volume” model. It has been replaced by a new purchasing logic centered on “Employee Wellness” and “Brand Specialization.”

Pickleball Customization: The New Corporate Sports Social Favorite of 2026

The most prominent trend highlighted in the report is the strong rise of “sports social gifts.” Data shows that in the first quarter of 2026, inquiries for Pickleball customization equipment surged by 210% compared to the same period last year.

A spokesperson for BeGiftHK analyzed: “In 2026, a corporate gift is no longer just an object; it is a brand touchpoint. Due to its low entry barrier and high participation across all age groups, Pickleball has become the top choice for large enterprises for hosting Team Building and ESG promotion activities. The professional-grade T700 carbon fiber paddles we provide, combined with high-quality customized designs, successfully transform the act of gifting into a highly social brand experience.”

Technology Defines Authority: Full-Color UV Digital Printing Enhances Corporate Image

Regarding the craftsmanship requirements for gift customization, purchasers in 2026 have demonstrated unprecedented attention to detail. The report indicates that over 85% of multinational organizations and financial enterprises prioritize the precision of printing technology when selecting a Hong Kong corporate gift company.

BeGiftHK has addressed the limitations of traditional screen printing, such as the inability to render gradients and high-precision logos, by introducing cutting-edge “Full-Color UV Digital Printing” technology. This commitment to professionalism has led BeGiftHK to frequently receive high praise as a “Souvenir Recommendation of the Year” in various commercial evaluations.

ESG Transformation: From “Green Products” to “Social Responsibility”

The report concludes by emphasizing that ESG factors have permeated every stage of the purchasing decision. In 2026, the demand for “Recycled PET (RPET)” materials and “Sustainable Sports Solutions” among Hong Kong enterprises consistently accounted for over 40% of the market share. Through its robust supply chain accumulated over years of deep cultivation in the Hong Kong market, BeGiftHK not only provides eco-friendly materials but also assists organizations in planning gift solutions with social impact, integrating “ESG narratives” into every exquisite gift box.

Rooted in Hong Kong, Defining the Future

As an established authoritative brand in the market, BeGiftHK, with its keen market insights and excellent execution, has successfully provided one-stop corporate gift customization services for numerous NGOs, educational institutions, and Fortune 500 companies. Looking ahead, the company will continue to drive industry innovation, creating the most valuable brand souvenirs for Hong Kong organizations with a more professional and forward-looking vision.
