Education At 17

[TRS79]

Hi. My son started A Levels and for his own reasons doesn't want to continue.

I know he has to be in education or apprenticeship until he is 18.

What happens if he leaves/quits his A Levels?

What repercussions are there for him and parents?

Thanks

What does he actually want to do long and short term OP? Is he averse to all training and if so does he just want to get a job straight away?

I don't know what he wants to do. Communication isn't his strong point.

He doesn't seem to want to do anything. A levels are a struggle (which they are going to be) and finding a part time job so he can have some spending money and experience hasn't happened yet either.

No one will chase it up or notice most likely but don't tell him that! He should get an apprentice position or alternative training/college option.

No repercussions bar loss of child benefit.

I would have a serious discussion with him re how life is going to be if he just quits. Maybe he should keep going until he sorts out an alternative?

You can get 3 years funding in 6th form, so he could apply to restart on a different type of course for September and then try to find temp work until then.

Hi. Well out seems to have worked out. New direction planned.

Super.
Can you sort the same for my eldest now please?
