Quitter Penalty
Ministers in the UK are considering enforcement measures to make sure all young people stay in education or training until 18 from the year 2013. Alan Johnson, British education secretary, confirmed plans to act against employers who fail to train staff. He was spurred on to take a tougher line after independent research for the British government showed nine out of 10 people backed the move to keep all young people in school, college or work-based training. He stated that there would be a carrot-and-stick approach with either cash incentives or punishment for young people.
