The Associate Education Minister says the key to fixing truancy is banding agencies together.

In Term 2 this year, one in 10 students was chronically absent - with more than 80,000 missing more than three weeks of the term.

Since 2015, chronic absence has doubled in secondary schools and almost tripled in primary schools.

David Seymour says his proposed solution ties in all the key players.

"It has a role for everybody. Parents, critically, but also students and the school and the different Government agencies like the Attendance Service, Oranga Tamariki, police and so on."
