(asked on 18th July 2018) - View Source
Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that asylum seekers are able to finish the academic year in school once they have turned 18.
This question was answered on 30th July 2018
When asylum seekers reach the age of 18 years, they may continue to study pending a final decision on their application. If the application is refused, consideration will be given to the impact that removal action may have on the welfare and development of the child at their current stage of education, and this will be weighed against the possible effects of delaying removal.
