At the age of 16, pupils can leave school If pupils stay on, they usually take A (Advanced) levels, AS (Advanced Supplementary) level or GNVQs (Greater National Vocational Qualifications)

It is quite common to combine, for example, two A levels with one AS level, or one A level with one GNVQ Pupils taking A levels study traditional subjects, such as French, Physics or History To go to university, pupils usually need two or three A levels

AS levels are the same standard as A levels, but only half of the content: AS level German pupils take the A-level German language exam, but do not take the A-level German Literature exam GNVQs are vocational qualifications Pupils usually take on GNVQ in subjects such as Business, Leisure and Tourism, Manufacturing, and Art and Design One GVNQ (at advanced level)

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales Unusually, it gives people much needed experience of life outside the classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams The students, who are aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the word, spend the morning studying In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such

as helping on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution in rivers.

One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many different social backgrounds and countries As few can afford the fees of £20,000 over two years, grants are available

A quarter of students are British, and many of those can only attend because they receive government help

“I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among young people", as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said ''You learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like During the summer holidays my mother

couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister."

"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said "But 1 had been studying it in books and 'magazines for four years in my spare time 1 knew what 1 wanted to do and never considered staying on at school Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway."

David added: "I would like to earn a million and 1 suppose early retirement is a possibility You never know when the market might disappear."
