Background : Most children living with epilepsy are typical learners who would, normal conditions, perform well academically. This is not always the case with children exhibiting complex and more severe forms of epilepsy in which the epilepsy is associated with known or suspected brain abnormalities. For some children, frequent seizures and medical investigations may result in several days of missed school, consequently compromising learning. The study aimed to examine the relationship between epilepsy and school academic grade
