Introduce 3-4 days so parents cand take children from school without being fined
Not to fine a parent for taking their kids earlier on a holiday and the kids should not receive unauthorised absence for that. Most of us are forced by the circumstances because our families live abroad or we can't afford a holiday because airline companies and hotels take advantage school holiday.

Background
To support parents to spend time with their children without being treated as criminals. Not everyone has the privilege to be born here and our families live abroad. We are decent people who work hardly to support our children and we want to offer them other experiences. We are not claiming for any benefits apart for understanding. We just need a country who supports also the family values. Just the way we treat school with responsibility and respect, we need the same.
