Attendance levels in the Island's school's have returned to roughly pre Covid figures, but there's still a way to go.
That's the word of Education, Sport and Culture Minister Julie Edge who was quizzed on the stats in Tynwald this week.
She revealed that despite a 2% dip in 2022 the latest data shows that there's currently a 92.2% attendance rate, with the department's attendance officers working to improve this situation.
Minister Edge was asked if homeschooling, or long Covid has played a part in the stats stagnating rather than improving:
Braddan commissioners recruiting new top officer
School meals meat bought locally, but may not be Manx
Manx Care staff suspensions cost £110,000, says minister
Commissioners worried about speed cameras on new 20mph signs
Formula One Classic TT cancelled
Course due to close at 6pm, say police
How can historic buildings be more eco-friendly?
Racing delayed again, with schedule update "imminent"
