Parents Fined For Taking Child Out Of School For Grandmother’s Funeral In South Africa
Earlier this year, families in Lancashire were warned of a possible £1,000 fine as part of a pilot scheme to reduce term-time absences. Flights and hotels cost a lot more during school holidays, leading parents to sometimes opt to pay the £60 fine in exchange for saving on holiday fares, which can sometimes backfire as both parents can be fined separately.
