Discounts To Keep Kids In School
(UK) A pilot scheme in the Midlands, which is supported by the Department for Education and Skills (DfES), the Federation of Tour Operators and the Associationof British Travel Agents, allows for families to take cheaper holidays during the school holidays.
Due to the increased costs, parents have been taking their children out of school to go on holidays during term-time. The scheme offers free places and reduced fares on certain holidays in the hope to cut unauthorised absences.
It's a simple scheme which can be extended nationwide if the pilot is successful. Phatgnat will be monitoring its progress.
