Absenteeism among disadvantaged pupils in Wales rising

Responding to a written question that revealed a widening gap on attendance for disadvantaged pupils, Tom Giffard MS, Welsh Conservative Shadow Minister for Education, said: 

“Wales deserves better than Labour, the Welsh Conservatives have a plan to appropriately fund education and save Labour’s lost generation.”

“Labour is simply not doing enough to tackle the rising absenteeism occurring under their watch, with the gap for disadvantaged pupils growing rapidly.”

“Education under Labour in Wales over the past 25 years is a story of soaring absenteeism, a shocking decline in education standards, illiterate pupils in our schools and the worst PISA results in the UK.
