The raising of the school leaving age three years ago caused heated discussions in the teaching world, cost the country nearly £180-million and made full-time schooling compulsory for over 300,000 teenage children. What have the country's schools done to help the non-academic child who has to spend this extra year at school? Is the curriculum geared to the needs of the ROSLA child? And do people in education think it's time and money well spent?
