Rejected petition Stop making young people stay in education until they're 18

More details

Young adults shouldn't be made to stay in education until they are 18. People of 16 years old could find a good job that earns a respectable wage rather than remain in education which may not be where they want to be. People are good at different things and not all people work well academically but may be good at other things like mechanics.
