'Since' is used to refer to a point of time / date e.g. 6 a.m. or 25/2/2011. "For' is used to refer to a length of time. Therefore, the correct sentence will be : ...classes for the last one month.

@Pradip.
From sentence point of view it has to be since the last one month. Here is point of time is most important that we have to consider.
From the last one month he has not attending.
As we use since for point of time so not for has to be used.

When we use "Last one month" it denotes a particular time. So we can use since with "last one month".
But we can't use it as Since One month.
One is a duration terminology so we must use "For" here without "last".
So both are correct.
1. For one month.
2. Since the last one month.

Since - an action started in the past still continuing for present & may continue to future also.
For - it refers to fixed period of time.
So it is correct to use since in place of for.
For - it refers to fixed period of time.
So it is correct to use since in place of for.
