Prosecution Threat Boosts Student Re-Enrollment, Says Education Minister

Associate Education Minister David Seymour states that the threat of prosecution has effectively encouraged students to re-enroll in school, with 34 cases notified and 17 resolved without prosecution. One prosecution related to attendance is currently before the courts, but no further details are provided to protect privacy and avoid prejudicing the case. Despite the initiative's success, Labour's education spokesperson has expressed a desire to remove it.
