Update: 2025-10-07
Description
Students' attitudes towards truancy are said to be turning around.
A new Education Review Office report has found six out of ten students attend regularly – back to pre-Covid levels, but still down on 2015.
It also found 80% think education is important for their futures, and 75% think attending every day is important.
Deputy Chief Executive Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking there's still more work to do.
She says seven in ten children went to school regularly in 2015 and the government wants to increase that to eight in ten by 2030.
