Abstract
Namayingo district is experiencing a surge in student absenteeism as many children abandon school to engage in gold mining and smuggling activities along the Kenya boarder. The trend has raised concern among teachers, parents and local authorities, who warn that it is undermining learning outcomes and exposing young people to risk such as teenage pregnancy and exploitation.
