Term-time holidays will be banned
Parents are to be banned by Michael Gove, UK’s Education Secretary, from taking their children out of school to save money on holidays.
He is to abolish the right of head teachers to "authorise absence" from the classroom, which has been used to let families take term-time breaks, and will warn them they face fines for their children not being at school.
"Any time out of school has the potential to damage a child’s education," a senior source at the Department for Education said this weekend. "That is why the government will end the distinction between authorised and unauthorised absence."
"This is part of the government’s wider commitment to bring down truancy levels in our schools. There will also be stricter penalties for parents and schools."
The tough measures on truancy are part of a wider attempt by Mr. Gove to make education more academically rigorous and to tackle a culture in the educational establishment which he believes has accepted "excuses for failure".
Russell Hobby, the general secretary of the National Association of Head Teachers, said the measure would discourage parents from trying to put pressure on heads to sanction term time holidays. "The high cost of holidays outside of term time is still an issue but ultimately a child’s education is more important than a holiday," he said.

答案
Which Is More Important, Education or a Cheaper Holiday? New research has shown that almost four out of ten parents in the UK have taken their children out of school to go on holidays. The cost is the main reason given by parents for sacrificing their children’s education. Parents are to be banned, however, by UK’s Education Authority, from taking their children out of school to go on holidays during term time. Should local authorities stagger school holidays to enable families with children to take advantage of travel bargains? Or is it wrong for parents to jeopardize their children’s education for the sake of a cheaper holiday? As far as I am concerned, education is more important. Firstly, children’s education must come first. A cheap holiday during the school season shouldn’t be the reason to take a child out of school. Some parents are not willing to schedule their time in terms of their children’s needs. This kind of attitude can influence their children deeply. It’s no wonder so many kids are not interested in going to school and don’t take their study seriously. Secondly, a school isn’t a day care center. It’s an educational institution that needs every student to follow its rules. Taking a child on holiday when school is in session disturbs the order of the school. Besides, it is disruptive to the children, because they will have to catch up with others when they come back. All in all, it is irresponsible for parents to take children out of school for a cheaper holiday. Those parents would risk being fined financially and morally. It’s not only kids that need to grow— a lot of parents need to as well.
