Petition Reduce the school leaving age to 13

People aged 13 and over should be able to leave school to work or start their own company, organisation or business.

More details

Many young people feel that that could make a change in the real world and want to start work or start their own business.

The Government should lower the school leaving age to 13 so that young people aged 13 or over can decide for themselves whether they want to continue with their education or pursue other opportunities.
