If the school leaving age were increased from 16 to 18, with the aim of forcing 16-18 year olds into 'education, training or work', how many would actually turn up?
Number of pupils in secondary schools excluded (temporarily or permanently) each year: more than one in ten.
Number of 16-18 year olds outside 'education, training or work': 11%.

How I agree with you. 17yr olds should be either in full time higher education or working. I think there will be a lot of teenagers staying away from school and who can blame them.You can do lots of things legally at 16 so dont treat 17yr olds like children
