Education Secretary Michael Gove is to crack down on parents who take children out of school to go on holiday.
The Government is considering fining parents who take their children on holiday during term-time in a bid to improve attendance rates.
It is thought that 4.5million days of schooling are missed by pupils going on holidays, which are often significantly more expensive during school breaks.
Education Secretary Michael Gove is said to be concerned that the perception that middle-class children can miss out on school time creates a belief that truancy is accepted.
At present, parents who allow their children to truant face a penalty of up to £100.
What are your thoughts on this?
Is the £100 fine a bit drastic? Or would you be prepared to pay that in a bid to save money in the long run?
