“When Labour came to power in 1997, the annual rate of unauthorised absence was 0.7% - a constant figure since 1994.”
—
“That means that 1.05% of school sessions were missed without permission - up from 1.01%.”
That is a rise of 50%!
Education, education, education....
Money, money, money....
‘New’ Labour keeps wasting ever more money. Trouble is, performance keeps right on dropping.
