The study at over all estimated that about 1 in 3 children aged 5-14 years in sub-Saharan rnAfrica are employed compared with Central and Eastern Europe/Common wealth of rnIndependent States (CEE/CIS) regions. Where only 1 out of 20 children is employed, In rnabsolute terms, 69 million children in sub-Saharan Africa, or 35% of the child population, are rnengaged in child labor (ILO, 2006). This statistic leaves sub-Saharan Africa, including rnEthiopia, the most dominant in terms of widespread child labor.rnThis study was conducted in East shawa districts of Adami Tulu Jido Combolcha Woreda. rnSpecifically, the study was carried out with the following objectives: To examine the impact rnof lack of time on primary education access and participation, to determine the impact of low rnschool attendance on access and participate in primary education activities carried out by rnschool-age children regarding access to and participation in primary education. The study rnused purposive sampling and snowball techniques, with the participation of 60 respondents. rnBoth techniques are practical due to the nature of the research. Child labor has been found to rnhave a huge impact on school-going students because it deprives children of their right to rnaccess and participate in primary education. Research shows that low school attendance and rnabsenteeism are the main influeances of child labor on children's access to and participation rnin primary education, as they affect children's learning outcomes. In addition, the study found rnthat most laws relating to child education have loopholes, enabling another 4,444 acts of child rnlabor in Ethiopia. It is therefore imperative that governments and all other responsible rnagencies ensure that policies and legislation address child labor issues and, in particular, rnchildren's participation in school works
