Compulsory education to 18?

[RobotHyper]

I believe Wales should have compulsory education to 18. It would create a stronger GDP per capita country as well as increase life expectancy. The English have an advantage economically and in terms of life expectancy as they have compulsory education to 18. The increase in earnings from having A levels is mostly knowledge and part evolution. The English will be able to outsmart the Welsh unless Wales has compulsory education to 18.

I think you'll find they do grow but not so rapidly you notice it while looking at them

You can't force people to stay in education until they're 18. That's a ridiculous idea.

If you can force them to sixteen then surely you can force them to eighteen.

It's the size of the feet you need to watch. Big feet when they're puppies they grow huge.

Or they'd just move to England.

Maybe not school but since 2015 the rule in England had been

• stay in full-time education, for example at a college
• start an apprenticeship or traineeship
• spend 20 hours or more a week working or volunteering, while in part-time education or training
