"All young South Australians will need to be learning or earning until they turn 17 from 2009, under new ‘school leaving age’ legislation to be introduced into State Parliament this week. Raising the ‘leaving age’ from 16 to 17 is part of the Rann Government’s $84 million School to Work reforms to better prepare students for further education and job opportunities in South Australia."
