In the US, you'd hear instead, "cut class". This means a student leaves school without authorization. For example:


"I cut class today." In certain schools in the US - for example, a public (state) school with a large number of students in a classroom, unruly students, and a harried teacher who is just going through the motions of teaching - a student might get away with this.
