MHK says there's a lack of support
Government's been accused of not doing enough to ensure children in care get a fair education.
North Douglas MHK David Ashford pressed both the education and health and social care ministers on what they were doing to tackle the issue.
Around a dozen children who are looked after by the state are currently thought to be regularly play truant.
Mr Ashford says it represents a failing of the system:
Renewed calls for public referendum on Island's Assisted Dying Bill
Follows UK Government saying it was unable to recommend it for Royal Assent
Manannan delay blamed on fault with propulsion system
Engineers repaired issue whilst vessel was at sea
Nurses to be asked for views on three-year pay offer
RCN negotiations with Manx Care will be led by feedback
