Firstly, I would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge the work of the Education and Workforce Committee and the members of that select committee in their inquiry into school attendance. The eight key themes that were identified through the inquiry are consistent with the work of the Government that we have been doing over the last four years to turn around the long-term decline in school attendance rates. Attendance rates did start to decline in 2015, and two years of battling a global pandemic with COVID-19 had an even bigger impact. For those of us who have worked in the education sector, we know that the solution to this longer-term attendance challenge is not just marking kids present on the roll. Getting our kids through the door is only part of the challenge and only part of the priority for this Government. It's the first step.
