From Checkpoint, 5:08 pm on 14 May 2025

Businesses have a moral obligation and should do their bit and not serve school kids in school uniforms during school hours. The minister in charge of gettting absent kids back to class made the comments while anouncing a 140 million dollar funding boost over four years to help improve attendance. There will be a single attendance service in each region and schools with the highest numbers of chronically absent students will be able to apply for funding for in house services. Associate Education Minister David Seymour spoke to Lisa Owen.
