What a complete & utter culo the man is. 
He's telling schools to mark those taking part as absent.
"Associate Minister of Education David Seymour says students protesting against the climate crisis should be marked absent by schools.
Hundreds of students, some as young as 10, are marching to Parliament today as part of the school strike for climate. Protests are also being held in Auckland and Christchurch.
Seymour called it “unacceptable” for students to protest during school time.
“If students feel strongly about sending a message, they could have marched on Tuesday when there was a nationwide teacher-only day, or during the upcoming school holidays.
“My expectation is that schools will treat students protesting today as explained but unjustified absences.”
His nibs can 'expect' all he wants; I hope schools have more understanding & more sense. He seems completely out of touch on virtually everything, including the fact that its going to be these kids who will have to live with the consequences of both our actions & those of the generations who came before us.
Total pito.
