Should We Finish School by 16?

Former Economy Minister Datuk Seri Rafizi Ramli suggests students complete their compulsory education by 16, so that they can enter the workforce by age 21, to counter Malaysia's transition into an ageing nation. In light of this, we ask you: Do you agree that schooling should end at 16? And would it have made a difference to your life, if you finished secondary school at 16?
