Schools—Student attendance
240. Hon Tjorn Sibma to
the Leader of the House representing the
Minister for Education:
My question is a
question from last week.
I refer to student
attendance in WA public schools. As of 1 March 2026, how many compulsory school-age
students enrolled in WA public schools had their whereabouts recorded as "unknown"?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
Honourable member, I
do have an answer, but I can see an error in it. If the member does not mind, I
will check it. I will not wait until we come back in six weeks, but I will try
to provide the member with an answer out of session.
