Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has said parents need to “wake up” and tackle low school attendance.
The comments follow a ministerial briefing which revealed “high levels of disassociation from school”.
He said National had done its bit to improve school performance by introducing a cellphone ban.
Luxon made the comments during a visit to Browns Bay School, where he said that parents needed to take responsibility for their children and their low attendance.
“Wake up and talk to your kids and get them to school,” he said.
