Compulsory education and dropping out of school

Your child must attend school from the age of 5 to 16. This is called compulsory education. After the age of 16, the qualification requirement applies. Your child must then attend school until:

  • he or she has a degree, or
  • he or she turns 18

Is your child leaving school without a diploma?

Please contact the Learning and Advancement Office. They will assist you further. In some cases, you can also apply for an exemption there.
