Whats happening in 2010, Education wise?

[benjamin]

Me and a friend was looking up something about Sixth Forms, and it said 'Education is compulsory until year 11, but in 2010 that is changing' or something along those lines.

Is it changing higher or lower?

[Wootzeh]

I wouldn't expect it to go lower tbh.

[benjamin]

That's what I thought, well I hope not..

You'd get Year 9s leaving school because they still don't realise the outcome at the end of it.

In 2009/2010 I'm in Year 11 maybe it's different in Wales though

[Falcon]

I expect that to happen.
The amount of young adults these days without proper jobs is unbelievable.
but i'm guessing if it goes higher alot more kids would skip school.
It won't affect me anyway.

I hope it goes up to Year 13 compulsory.

[Saosin]

It is :).


I hope it goes up to Year 13 compulsory.

I'm sure it's this years year 7's have to stay till there 18.. when they leave in yr 11 they go straight to 6th form and it's compulsory. I dunno, it might be what that guy said above..

[Albion]

Its goign up to yr 13 for the yr 7's that came up now, When i leave, Im working in Tesco express still, and Sixthform anyway so doesnt make a difference tbh.

Hmm, interesting. It wont effect me, I go to school in Spain. You have to continue until you're 16, but if you fail exams you get kept back.

[Sammeth.]

Yeah, its going to be compulsary until 18 :D Which is good imo!
