Editing Truancy (section)

=== Finland ===
In [[Finland]], truant pupils are usually punished with [[School discipline|detention]] in comprehensive schools. The police are not involved in truancy control, but teachers monitor the school and its surrounding area to avoid unauthorized absences. If a pupil is absent for a long period of time, the parents may be fined.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/artikkeli/%C3%84idille+sakkoja+lasten+oppivelvollisuuden+laiminly%C3%B6misest%C3%A4/1135249315433|title=Äidille sakkoja lasten oppivelvollisuuden laiminlyömisestä – HS.fi – Kotimaa|access-date=1 February 2011|language=fi|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090923210550/http://www.hs.fi/kotimaa/artikkeli/%C3%84idille+sakkoja+lasten+oppivelvollisuuden+laiminly%C3%B6misest%C3%A4/1135249315433|archive-date=23 September 2009}}</ref> The child will not be escorted to school, but the government may remove the child from the household if truancy continues.
