Attendance in education and early years settings during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak: 23 March to 26 November 2020
Kate Green MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Education, commenting on national school attendance data published today, said:
“The government’s failure to get the pandemic under control months ago means that one in six children have been out of school for the second week in a row.
“The government must respond to Labour’s calls to publish how many children have now missed school multiple times, urgently set out support to keep schools open, ensure children self-isolating have access remote learning and set out a plan for exams which delivers certainty for pupils, teachers and parents.”
