Kids must learning until 17




If you're starting out at secondary school in England this week you're going to be learning until you're 17.

That's because the government has changed the rules on the age that kids can stop being educated, and has raised it by a year.

Not every 17-year-old has to stay in school, but if they want to leave they'll have to get training instead.

The government hopes that extra year of learning will help you learn more skills, which will help you get a job.
