Parents and guardians of students who do not arrange for them to attend school up to High School will face up to two years in prison and a fine.
More specifically, a legislative regulation of the co-responsible ministries of Education and Justice, which was submitted to the Parliament, seeks to prevent parents and guardians from keeping their children away from school who are students, citing the pandemic or other reasons.
This provision stipulates that anyone who has custody or actual care of a minor and fails to register or supervise compulsory schooling (up to high school) is punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine.
