from Matt Heath & Tyler Adams Afternoons · host Newstalk ZB

New data shows 90 percent of the 1300 students granted an early leaving exemption last year, chose more study over full-time employment. Mt Albert Grammar head Patrick Drumm joined the Afternoons team says it's an improvement on students leaving school and not getting qualifications at all - but we still need more data on where these students are going.
