Teachers highlight value of term holidays
A report indicates that many school staff in England and Wales believe attendance efforts are ineffective, with some teachers prioritizing occasional breaks over full attendance due to skepticism about the system’s ability to address disengagement. Nearly 20% of children are missing at least 10% of school, and the absence rate is rising, fueled by issues such as mental health support gaps and unmet special educational needs. Teachers express concern that enforcement tools like fines damage trust, while acknowledging that building relationships and providing targeted support are more effective but resource-intensive.
