Everyone should stay in school until the age of eighteen. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Essay topics:

Everyone should stay in school until the age of eighteen. To what extent do you

agree or disagree?

In many countries, school attendance is mandatory for all children up to a specific

age. In India this is 14 years of age. In the uk and many other countries it is 16,

although the uk government now has plans to raise the school leaving age to 18. I

agree that children should be in school till the age of 18. In the following paragraphs,

I intend to put forth my arguments to support my views.

The most important reason for raising the school leaving age to 18 is that, the age of

14-18 is the most impressionable age of a child‘s life. During this period of

adolescence, the children undergo physical and hormonal changes because of

which they are under a lot of pressure. therefore, lengthening compulsory schooling

helps protect childhood. While at school students will be protected from some of the

pressures in life. they have the rest of adulthood to work, make budgets balance

and make choices. providing them with space to grow for as long as possible can

make them better prepared for adult life.

Secondly, more education provides the opportunity to acquire more skills and

therefore more options. it has been shown many times that those with more

education find it easier to find work and that they are more likely to find that work

satisfying. What is more, raising the school-leaving age is a crucial investment in

society's future. Doing so increases the economic potential of the future workforce,

and so will bring increased tax revenues in the long term.

However, the opponents claim that extending the period of compulsory education

requires a huge investment in teachers, books and new school buildings which

would be very expensive. they also say that many families need their children to

make an economic contribution to the family income and working early can help

these families to survive. Finally, just being in school does not guarantee that a

student is learning. Unwilling students become disruptive and damage the education

of others in their class.

To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that, as every garden has weeds, similarly

compulsory schooling also has some drawbacks. However, these drawbacks are

nothing as compared to the vast benefits this approach would bring and the cost

needed to implement would be negligible if compared to the huge economic potential

of the future workforce. therefore, I believe that everyone should stay in school until

the age of eighteen.
