Some pupils would be better off leaving school at 14? The whole education system needs reviewing. Primary schools take children up to the age of 12 years old. This would be beneficial to the education system, as often children at the age of 11 are not mature enough to go to senior school.

At secondary level from 12-16, we should discover what the pupil is best at and give them more time on that subject. There could be an option of leaving school at 15 is there is a job to go to, some are more of a nuisance at school, for those who are better out of school.

Every secondary school now in opertion should have education for post 16.
