Every school in England will be issued with an AI-based target for minimum student attendance, the government has announced, as part of the overhaul of the country’s classrooms.
Headteachers will be given targets this month in an effort to improve attendance rates, which remain stubbornly below pre-pandemic levels.
However, the teaching unions, however, immediately rejected the initiative, saying that it would put more pressure on the excessive school leaders.
“The reality is that schools have been working tirelessly to improve attendance, with many ways and more than what should be expected of schools by the National Association of Head Teachers, said Paul Whiteman.
“The government that issued them with many targets will not help them in that work and the wrong way to go.”
The general secretary of the association of school and college leaders, Pepe Di’iasio, said: “We urge the government to understand the realities of schools.
“Schools move heaven and earth to ensure that all their students attend regularly, but many of the factors that contribute are out of their direct control.
“Putting them into individual targets doesn’t solve the issues, but further reduces the school leaders and staff who are already under turnover.”
Attendance rates in general are improving in England, but official government figures published last month show that students in school sessions – where students rely on a school rate – where students rely on a school rate – where students rely on an increase in scences – where students rely again, and according to the school department an improvement does not improve.
“We can only provide opportunity for the children of our country if they are in school, achieving and developing,” said the secretary of education, Bridget Phillsipson. “That’s why I want every school to play it to get attendance back and beyond pre-pandemic levels.”

The target a school is given will be based on attendance levels achieved by others in similar circumstances, including deprivation, location and pupils’ needs. The targets are not published and are not accessible to the schools Inspectorate, OFSTED.
The schools will be supported to reach their targets by linking them with high-premanding schools that serve similar communities and with the same needs, so the cliffs of the cliffs of other practices.
“Our best schools have a great approach to attendance, and now we’re driving that study everywhere that all children are supported to go to school and learn,” Philsipson said.
