The Ministry of Education has made some extraordinary statements relating to recently released school attendance figures in NZ schools . These figures indicate that only 64 per cent of students are attending schools regularly. Really? Thirty-six per cent of NZ children not attending schools regularly?
The ministry s remarkable response is it will now monitor such figures more specifically. The issue of non-attendance in schools has been a concern for at least 20 years.

Traffic congestion is a regular feature on SH2 at the Wairoa Bridge, Emma Bryan says. Photo / File Two years ago Whakamarama mother Emma Bryan was dropping her 10-year-old son at school half an hour before it opened each day just to make it through State Highway 2 traffic and into Tauranga on time.
Today, nothing s improved, nothing s changed . actually it s worse .
Bryan s commute to Windermere in 2019 used to take about 45 minutes. Now, that s how long it takes just to get from Barretts Rd to the Wairoa Bridge most mornings - a 7.5km distance. If she needs to be in Tauranga at 8.30am, she leaves at 7am just to be sure I m there on time .
