compulsory attendance
Must be there
Compulsory attendance is the legal requirement that children attend school.
Most countries mandate education between certain ages—typically six to sixteen—and parents who fail to enroll their children face penalties.
The state's compulsory attendance laws apply to all children under eighteen.
Homeschooling usually satisfies compulsory attendance requirements if approved by authorities.
