It's called Didaskaleinophobia. It can be due to separation anxiety eg. separation from parents or home. It tends to happen when a child is afraid of something that might challenge them eg. exams. Some children enjoy a challenge but to others it can be very fearful. The most common ways a child will deal with this is....being clingy before you leave them, faking illness to stay off, having nightmares, tantrums, exaggerating bad things that have happened and just plain refusal.
