Truancy among worst in Britain
Yakub Qureshi12/ 9/2007
THE number of school children missing lessons in Manchester has fallen. But truancy levels are up and city schools still rank among the worst in the country for attendance.
New figures show the attendance of primary and secondary pupils improved slightly, but the city was still ranked the fourth worst out of 150 councils.
Surely it should be 'Truancy among best in Britain' given teachers aren't supposed to label pupils as failures...

Hasn't Manchester been the worst for Truancy for the past decade now?
Why is this still the case?
