| Campaigners claim that such a situation breeds truancy, and that in the past year 870 pupils truanted for 5,665 school days lost. |
| In the last academic year 696, 328 pupils truanted or were absent without permission, on average for 15 half days. |
| We were able to maybe nip truancy in the bud for some young people who may have not truanted much before. |
| The ECHO revealed last month how one in every nine primary schoolchildren in Liverpool truanted from school during last year. |
| By this means they lost their time and truanted on the fundamental grounds of saving knowledge. |
| An estimated one in four school-aged offenders has truanted significantly. |
