The Government's hoping to balance out Covid messaging that has played a part in low school attendance.
A campaign's launching today highlighting the importance of school attendance.
Associate Education Minister, Jan Tinetti, says attendance has been declining since 2015, but Covid messaging has exacerbated the problem.
