| The '''school leaving age''' is the minimum age a person is legally allowed to cease attendance at an institute of compulsory secondary education. Most countries have their school leaving age set the same as their minimum full-time employment age, thus allowing smooth transition from education into employment, whilst a few have it set just below the age at which a person is allowed to be employed.

| In contrast, there are numerous countries that have several years between their school leaving age and their legal minimum employment age, thus in some cases preventing any such transition for several years. Countries which have their employment age set below the school leaving age of 5 years old but (mostly developing countries), risk giving children the opportunity to leave their education early to earn money for their families.
| | '''Iseul v. Ministry of State''' (1980) was a landmark case before the [[Criminal_justice_system_of_Urcea#Hierarchy_of_courts|Archducal Court]] of [[Urcea]] in which it was ruled that Urcea's traditional, uncodified rule of citizenship-upon-conception applied to foreign nationals. The case had the practical effect of codifying the premise of citizenship-upon-conception and struck down previous prohibitions on accepting citizenship petitions from individually allegedly conceived in [[Urcea]]. The decision involved [[Iseul Oh]], a national of [[Metzetta]], who conclusively proved he was conceived in Urcea while his parents were on honeymoon in 1946. The [[Ministry of State (Urcea)|Ministry of State]] nonetheless denied his request for citizenship, claiming that the conception rule only related to the civil rights of unborn persons in Urcea and did not, on its own, confer Urcean citizenship and nationality. Following lower court decisions which ruled in favor of the Ministry, the Archducal Court ruled unanimously in favor of Iseul Oh, granting him citizenship and establishing a precedent which enhanced the traditional understanding of citizenship-upon-conception. |

| | The age in which students leave school varies by state and territory, and is truly based on their date of birth, but generally falls between 17 and 18 years of age in their final year of high school. Unlike some other countries, Cartadania's education law does not allow students to leave the secondary education system without full completion of state diploma requirements. While some states allow employment as young as 14 years, most states restrict their employment opportunities to familial and agricultural practices until age 15 or 16.<br />* Varies by state or territory.

| | In 2000, the Volksforum raised the school leaving age to 19, the reason cited was a change in curriculum and the addition of life skill classes. After graduation, all Eldmorans and Regulians have to choose between employment, further education, or mandatory 2 to 3-year civic or military service.

| | Labour law and education policy are the purview of state and territorial governments, not the federal government. As such, the minimum school leaving age and minimum full-time employment age vary by jurisdiction, with the latter almost always equal to or lower than the former. Workers may begin paying into social insurance programs as early as 14. The lowest school leaving age is 12 ([[Kyllera]]) and the highest is 18 ([[Fariva]]). The lowest full-time employment age at non-family, non-agricultural enterprises is 14 ([[Kyllera]]) and the highest is 17 ([[District of Coīnvra]]). Many Western Highlands states do not require Aboriginal Kiravite children to attend school, and children living on tribal land are exempt in states that do, although most tribes have their own compulsory education laws.
