Hon CHRIS CARTER (Minister of Education) Link to this
I seek leave to table a document that clarifies answers to a question in which an Opposition member sought leave to table a document from the Ministry of Education, alleging that 30,000 students were absent from school in any one day. This document clarifies that, actually, it was a snapshot of that day, taken morning and afternoon. It included students who were late for school and who may have been at the doctor or the dentist.
