School Absenteeism

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:41): Supplementary: in relation to that answer and the previous answer, does the department in fact have those figures, or is the department undergoing a process of now seeking those figures by writing to all schools to check on their attendance data?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:41): I will clarify that. I believe that the department does have the data, but I will clarify that we have it for absolutely all schools.
