While I am very much in favor of folks getting an education, after a certain age I don't think you can successfully force it on young people.
This is a very valid point and probably a problem in all schools.

What about bringing back National Service. If they arnt into further education and not all of them are, they can do 2 years in the Army.

Make this counrty a better place.
