Record levels of high school dropouts in Victoria

Sky News host Caleb Bond says Victoria has now reached “record levels of high school dropouts”. Mr Bond said that numbers in the Herald Sun today show that 14.1 per cent of students who started year 7 in 2018, left before they started year 12. “We have this thing now where it’s almost expected that you’ll get to year 12 and then you’ll go to university. “So we churn all of these kids through university who come out the other end with degrees they may as well wipe their bums with. “Kids who want to go and do something practical, should be encouraged to go and do something practical as early as possible.”
