TL;DR: The most recent national survey of school attendance was undertaken on the 17th January 1974 by the Department of Education and Science with regard to all maintained secondary and middle schools in E... as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Summary Reliable and valid statistics of school attendance have been sought since the advent of compulsory education. The substantial decrease in absenteeism which was evident in the first 30 years of compulsion was used as ammunition in support of increasing the length of required attendance. However, strikingly contradictory figures were produced in support of, or against, the arguments, then as now. (Rubinstein, 1969). Surveys and investigations were carried out to suit administrative will and convenience and little attention was given to the timing of such studies. Evidence is available that school attendance is by no means uniform during the school year and therefore that pilot work is essential prior to the launching of a survey which seeks a reliable picture of school attendance. The most recent (and indeed, the only) national survey of school attendance was undertaken on the 17th January 1974 by the Department of Education and Science with regard to all maintained secondary and middle schools in E...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempt to trace the probable major economic implications of the discontinous Greek ROSLA (No. 309/1976) extending compulsory schooling from 6 to 9 years, with full effect from school year 1980-81.
Abstract: Usually countries institute a ROSLA (raising of the school leaving age) by 1 year at a time; and they allow several decades between one ROSLA and another (e.g., England, 1947 and 1972). The law that has been passed recently in Greece (No. 309/1976) extends compulsory schooling from 6 to 9 years, with full effect from school year 1980-81. This paper is an attempt to trace the probable major economic implications of the discontinous Greek ROSLA.

TL;DR: In this article, an official report is made by the committee investigating special education in Great Britain, which will advise against any large scale or immediate integration of handicapped children into ordinary schools.
Abstract: British educators have voiced concern over Section 10 of the Education Act of 1976, which emphasizes education of the handicapped in ordinary British schools. Professional opinion at all levels has been overwhelmingly against the ambiguous law — implementation of which is being withheld until an official report is made by the committee investigating special education in Great Britain. Indications are that the report will advise against any large scale or immediate integration of handicapped children into ordinary schools. If the report is made as expected, will government officials implement the law, and what effect will it have on provisions made for handicapped children in Great Britain?
