Increasing Student Attendance

The Education Review Office (ERO) looked at research from Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas, to find out about the difference that attendance makes for children. Even missing just two days a term is linked to not doing as well. The more often children attend school, the better they do at school, the happier they are, and the better they are set up for life.
