    0 TASK 4 (ESSAY)

    Everyone should stay in school until the age of eighteen. To what extend do you agree
    or disagree. (question number 4)

    For these few years, government has implemented regulation concerning education. It is widely
    known that proper education should be started since ages seven then students can graduate
    from school at ages eighteen. Proper education is important preparing teenager before they
    pursue higher studies or being skilled worker. I agree that everyone should be encouraged to
    stay in school but it would be a mistake to make this compulsory as different people have
    different needs and abilities. Therefore, there are another possibilities of other forms of
    vocational training as another solution. It is debatable whether a proper education means having
    to stay in school until you are 18.

    Some people assert keeping youngsters in school until they become adults is good for
    them in many ways. Firstly, it enables students to acquire sufficient education. As the current
    society is extremely competitive, a graduate certificate will entitle young people become a
    qualified job candidate in the future, allowing them to choose a desire career direction. If you
    leave school early with only a basic education, you are unlikely to be able to find any skilled
    work. Indeed, the education you receive between the ages of 16 and 18 is crucial for anyone
    who does not want a lifetime of unskilled work in a factory. Since work requirement these days
    have become more and more demanding, education until the highest level would surely ensure
    one to have an almost guaranteed and secured job in the future. To be able to support oneself
    with a stable career would only mean a stable life ahead.

    Secondly, making school compulsory can effectively reduce juvenile delinquency. Lured
    by material possessions and physical comfort, some juveniles may turn to illegal methods such
    as robbery or steal to gain money if they leave high school. It all students remain in school
    before they become mature enough, they are supervised by teachers and peers without falling
    into temptation. By all means, the supporting elements present in school would help in the
    process of moulding a good character of future generations. Since nowadays education system
    require moral ethics to be taught in classes, this is a key ingredients to make sure that all the
    juvenile will not end up behind bars. In a way, education is teaching good values of life and
    moral ethic to the youngster as well as providing essential knowledge require for them to
    succeed in the future undertaking.

    8
    Apart from that, without proper education people would be forced to do menial jobs. For
    someone who comes from a middle class or upper class family, this would only mean one thing,
    being a sole loser in the family or an under achiever. Im not saying that this is the standard for a
    lower class family but that is the reality. In a manner of speaking, a high class family and a
    middle class family is a category made or used to describe a decent family. By that I mean
    family which have a stable income rate and a prosperous life. Compare to a lower class family
    which struggle to make ends meet. In the aspects of education, one who do not thrive in school
    would have a high chance to end up doing menial jobs. This is a hard labour work with almost
    no special skills requirement and it is not an easy road to travel. That is why education is
    important to secure a good job to ensure a stable family in the future.

    Another compelling reason for remaining in school until 18 is that school provides moral

    and social education too. This is particularly important for people between 16 and 18 who have

    many temptations and benefit from the organised framework that school provides. Young people

    who stay in school until the age of 18 tend to be more responsible and help build a stronger

    society. To be able to work with everyone in the society and even give back to the community

    will ensure a healthy and decent life. Since school provides the necessary skills needed to cope

    with the norm of the people living around us, therefore teens who stay in school until the age of

    eighteen have a higher chance to do well in the society.

    There are, however, equally strong arguments against making school compulsory until

    the age of 18. One such argument is that not everyone is academic and that some people

    benefit more from vocational training. For instance, someone who wants to become a car

    mechanic may find better training and more satisfaction in an apprentice scheme. Another

    related argument is that, in todays world, young people are maturing ever more quickly and are

    able to make their own life decisions by the age of 16.

    Furthermore, there are some others claim that any adolescents are free to decide what
    to do. To start with, it is a waste of time and money for those who dislike academic subjects. For
    example, some students have no interest in high school maths or science and want to enter the
    job market or go traveling. Once these people are required to stay in high school, they are not
    willing to make an effort on their study, thereby ending up with no achievement and no

    9
    performance in class. Besides, there are some occupations such as chiefs or hairdressers do
    not require a high school qualification. If some teenagers want to be the outstanding athletes in
    the future, they will need to start a professional training with specialists at their early ages
    without waiting til turning eighteen.

    To sum up, although teenagers are encouraged to stay in school until 18, there are
    exceptions for some students. Some students who know what to do and have a preset goals to
    achieved in the future should be allowed to have their way. As a student myself before, I have
    witnessed some schoolmates who drop out in high school but still make it big in what they do.
    Hereby, I would say yes to staying in school until the age of eighteen but let those special one
    have their way.
