With moves to change the school system to make it easier to take kids out of school during term time, we asked people in the North East how they feel about this.
Transcript
00:00People need to keep the kids in school during term time, but I do think that holiday companies need to be a little bit more, yeah, a bit fairer with the costs during the school holidays, definitely.
00:14I mean, if you, you know, at the moment it's not a disincentive to be fined by the school because you still would spend more on the holiday.
00:24Well, I think there's a huge cost attached to going in the middle of the school holidays, I know from personal experience from having kids.
00:30So, yeah, I think it would be good. But obviously, if it's to the depth of the education, you need to look at that balance really, don't you?
00:36Now that me and my brother are both kind of finished university and our studies before the overall end of term time, my dad is definitely enjoying it a lot more.
00:46It's a lot cheaper. So I think if you, I think it's important to have holidays and if you literally cannot afford one during outside of term time, then I think, I think it should be allowed to happen really, yeah.
