Who is a "truant"?
A truant is a person, usually a student, who stays away from school without permission or a valid reason. This behavior involves skipping school or being absent without justification, which is typically against school rules. Truants may face consequences such as detention, a warning, or other disciplinary actions to encourage regular attendance. It can also be a sign of underlying issues, such as a lack of interest in school, problems at home, or other personal challenges.
Example
The principal called the parents of the truant to discuss their child's repeated absences.
The school has a strict policy for dealing with students who are truant without valid reasons.
