This paper has been selected because it shows that whether only raising the participation age in
education will ensure that children after the age of 18 would be provided a better chance in
relation to the social and economic well-being when they leave school. Another issue with this

positive impact of the legislation on the education system of England to the legislation itself is
not enough to achieve the objective of the government of a healthy and productive education
system in the country3.
