The Labour government has ended up with two ministers contradicting each other on a decision which they were supposed to be involved in and implementing together, the Nationalist Party said in a statement.
Social Solidarity Minister Michael Farrugia said on Tuesday that if children missed one day of school, they would need to present a medical certificate.
However, when Education Minister Evarist Bartolo was questioned by journalists, he contradicted his fellow minister by saying that children who missed a day or two did not need to present a certificate, the PN said.
