Plans for 50 Hours of Compulsory Voluntary Work for All Under 19

[Yoshimitsui]

If its going to allow children to gain more experience in the work place for a longer period than current work experience programme then it is a good idea. Letting them explore different roles in the big world is beneficial and will be a lot more interesting and effective than sitting in a classroom learning things you wont really use in life.

Where have they said it's only going to take place over 2 weeks? 2 weeks is to do with work experience which young people do already through schools, this could be done over an entire school year at something like an hour and a half a week or perhaps even over two years and take one lesson period (guessing most schools have hour long periods) per week to do it - that's absolutely nothing and anyone who truly believes that school kids have too much to do really needs their head checked.

@Dan: saying you wouldn't mind doing something isn't the same as saying you want to do it
