A significant funding boost for attendance services across the country.
The Government's investing $140 million into improving school attendance over the next four years, in Budget 2025.
It includes $123 million on a new attendance service, with more data monitoring than currently exists.
Associate Education Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking a lot of the funding will go towards more people in these roles.
He says about 80 regions will have a single attendance service that schools can call on.
