At what age can my child drop out of school?
user
In most countries, children are required to attend school until they reach the age of 16 or 18, at which point they can legally drop out. However, some countries offer options for teens to take gap years or part-time classes while still in school in order to receive an education without being required to attend full-time. In some cases, children may be encouraged by their schools and families to stay on even longer until they reach the minimum legal adult age or complete their desired qualifications and/or training. Ultimately, the decision whether and when a child should drop out of school is up to each individual’s country's legal requirements and also what is best for that child personally in terms of future job goals, desired skills development or other alternatives like vocational training or university entrance examinations.
