Could anyone help me to translate this terms? They are in the same text, so I find very difficult to find a fairly formal brazilian-portuguese translation for them! As far as I know they mean "matar aula" but i need to be accurate about each of them. Thank you all x x

faltar / absenteísmo / alunos faltosos
These are the formal therms used in Brazilian schools. I know because I'm a school teacher. The form "matar aulas" (literally, "to kill classes") and its variants are informal, thus widely more used.
Example sentence:
Vamos analisar o índice de absenteísmo.
Os alunos faltosos são os que mais apresentam dificuldades de aprendizado.

Acho que o termo "faltar" não deixa isso claro.
