special about that particular age group?

They are soon to be under school leaving age. And the majority will be
students of one kind or another, even if they've left school.

A student is someone who goes to university

No, a student is someone over the school leaving age who is being
educated.

Well I know its trendy and inclusive to call everyone who does some tin pot part
time course on yoghurt knitting a student but the generally accepted definition is
someone who goes to *higher* education. Not get-a-clue education for ****wits who
had just about learnt to write their name when they left school.

You think knitting yoghurt is easy?

Anyway, the definition of higher education is pretty much down to
where the funding comes from, not its content or level.
