Students starting secondary school this week will be legally obliged to attend until they are 17, under new legislation.

Do you think that this is a good idea? How old were you when you left school? Join the debate.

    In the light of the collapse of the housing market and the so-called cridit crunch, try asking plumbers, electricians, joiners and the like how much they value their "trade" right now. You may find the answer (and the language) quite illuminating!

    there is a big lack in skills and talent in industry but i know from my past and many others it is to easy to end up in the wrong job yes stay in school get a better genral education and let the children work towards a chance of apprenticships but t hen we need a country that gives an education to children that have been raised in a stable family enviroment where both parents install good manners a will to not break the law and teachers that are able to teach so does it matter how long when we are already failling them from birth
