Maggot Squisher · Guest

The UK Government plans to raise the school leaving age from 16 - 18
years old by 2015.

All 16-18 year olds will have to stay in school, training or workplace
training once this legislation goes through. All the names of the 16
and
17 year olds will be recorded in a database to allow local authorities
to track their attendance. Those already in employment will be forced
to
participate in training one day each week.

Proposed sanctions for those who do not attend may include ASBO-like
'attendance orders', £50 on-the-spot fines, confiscation of driving
licences and ultimately prosecution.

This petition calls for a stop to these ridiculous proposals and says
'NO' to raising the school leaving age.
