legal enforcement of school attendance

Legal enforcement of school attendance involves laws that require children to attend school until a certain age, usually around 16 to 18, depending on the jurisdiction. Parents or guardians are responsible for ensuring their children attend regularly. If students miss too many days without valid reasons, schools may intervene, providing support or notifying parents. Continued noncompliance can lead to legal consequences, such as fines or court appearances for parents. This system aims to promote education and ensure children receive the learning they need for their future.
