It's pointless to keep some 16-18 year olds in school if the curriculum is strictly academic. If they're not interested in academic subjects by age 16 it won't change in the extra 2 years. If, however, those 2 years will encompass skill courses for those who are more suited to them then fine. In the absence of the apprenticeships we used to have this could be the way forward for learning a trade.
