Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour) on Monday, 17 December 2007 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Unauthorised Absences
- Question
- What steps his Department is taking to reduce levels of unauthorised absences from schools.
- Answer
-
Our focus is on reducing all forms of unnecessary and avoidable absence and on reducing in particular the number of persistent absentees, with very high levels of absence. We provide support and challenge to local authorities where these problems are concentrated. Our success is demonstrated by the record low rates of absence last year and by the 10 per cent. reduction in the number of persistent absentees.
