The number of children absent from school has more than doubled since the pandemic and a report by the Education Select Committee says the the government is not acting fast enough to get numbers down.
There are now calls for “a major cross government review on how to overcome this challenge”.
One senior teacher has told Sky News she fears high levels of absence could become the “new norm” inflicting long-term damage on thousands of children.
