Raising the School Leaving Age

In November 2007 the Government published the Education and Skills Bill.

The Bill will raise the education and training leaving age to 18 by 2015. The Bill not only legislates for raising the participation age but also includes the transfer to local authorities who will be required to promote young people’s participation and to support them to find appropriate education and training opportunities.
