Will the Minister provide an update on the National Attendance Taskforce?
Answered by Minister for Education and the Welsh Language | Answered on 19/03/2024
The National Attendance Taskforce has identified and agreed a programme of work focussing on youth engagement, further analysis of data and statistics to identify patterns and geographical trends for improvement; development of a national communications campaign informed by our external networks; and peer to peer networking and sharing of best practice to maximise the support and services available within individual areas.
The Taskforce has met three times since its establishment, and I have chaired two of those meetings.
