Truancy crackdown to include children aged four

Government to publish the figures for the year in the absence of receipt, while the behavior consultant shows that children do not attend day care

Children as young as four people who lost day care or the year of receipt of the school will be a new crackdown on truancy -. Although education is not compulsory until the age of five, the government announced

figures on attendance at the reception, when children are between four and five, will be published by the Ministry of Education so that schools can judge their performance in the absence of students.

In a report widely accepted by ministers, government adviser on the behavior of experts, Charlie Taylor, also requires schools to offer support to parents who fail to take their children to daycare .

Taylor does not require the age of compulsory education is low and there is no legal penalty for skipping school below the age of five.

However, when presenting his report on truancy, drew attention to a possible penalty: "I was at a school in Battersea, the other day, very difficult, effectively closed the door to parents if their children who are late say you can not enter the nursery at the end seems very difficult - but .. school attendance was 97%, well above the national average there is a job [is] in terms of parental awareness., teaching them that school is important and that's where we must be. "

Taylor argued that the lack of care left the children as "a puzzle with many pieces that have not been fulfilled."

"missing part of the nursery means you are missing out on some of the principles of learning, some social skills that are essential to children's temperament and ability to operate in the room classroom.

"There are children who come to kindergarten who do not know his name literally do not know his own name, so that the school has an important job to do. Education in children is also essential that the week before GCSE. "

Currently there are no national data collected in the care of children in the nursery and reception, before school is mandatory.

The government accepted the recommendation to publish these numbers so that schools can be compared. Ofsted must also attend the reception during the year a school is inspected, Taylor said.

• The government adviser has recommended that fines for truancy must be deducted from the compensation. But it is unclear whether this proposal will be accepted.
• In a statement, Education Secretary Michael Gove said that the only government "to explore ways to make payment of the penalty score quickly and safely."

Taylor, who is seconded from his post as director of a special school in west London, was asked to look absenteeism Gove after the riots last summer.

Taylor said. "Many children involved in the disturbances had been excluded from school or who have been excluded from school and I think one of the main things I found is that many of these models care for the poor start very soon. "

The report also recommends that the chains of the academy, sponsors and maintained academies and schools, should be able to prosecute parents for truancy. Currently this is handled by local authorities.
period of vacation time should be granted only in exceptional cases, says Taylor.
