Changes to Education Under the present law, the school leaving age is 16. However from September 2013 the education leaving age will rise to 17 and from 2015 it will rise again, to 18

The government is raising the leaving age because research shows that young people who carry on learning or training until the age of 18 earn more money, are likely to be healthier and less likely to be in trouble with the police
