PARENTS who repeatedly fail to ensure their children attend school will face jail time as part of a crackdown on truancy.

For the first time, powers will be granted to the New South Wales Department of Education to ask for court orders forcing parents to enrol their children at school.

And magistrates will be empowered to impose jail sentences for parents of habitual truants and fine them up to $10,000.
