Perhaps also because the standards are now so low, with higher standards too much of a challenge to achieve without compromising socialist ideology, that it no longer matters much if a few days of school are missed here and there.

To cure this problem the schools need to paid for attendance and not enrollment. Use vouchers and ONLY pay for attendance
