    "High truancy rates leave UK pupils lagging

    High truancy rates in British schools are leaving pupils lagging behind their peers in top-performing nations across Europe and the Far East, according to research by the OECD. The study showed that 18% of pupils sitting a new test had "skipped a day of school in the two weeks" prior to the exam. This compares with an average of 14.5% across all developed nations. Elizabeth Truss, the Schools Minister, said: "This analysis by the OECD further underlines the very real consequences of missing school - and shows we are right to crack down on pupil absence from school."

    I agree there should be a crackdown, but we should also be talking to the kids to find out why they are bunking off school. No wonder many of them don't have a future.
