3.2 adapted news script

 Next year the age young people will be able to leave education is changing to eighteen. This doesn’t mean you’ll have to stay in school as you can go to college or even take up an apprenticeship. So you’ll get real training as part of your education and get paid for doing it. The reason the government is doing this is because people who stay on in education tend to get higher paid jobs, are healthier and are less likely to get in trouble with the law.

You can do A levels which are subjects like maths, science and history. International Baccalaureate which gives you a more subjects than A levels. Diplomas and vocational qualifications, which train you for one job like hairdressing.

By staying on at studying you may be able to get free money to help you in your learning in the form of a bursary. To find out more you can get in touch with your local connexions office or get your parents to call the National Careers Service on 0800 100 900.
