Group A: Mandatory work experience would provide valuable opportunities for
fourteen-year-olds to develop practical skills that cannot be learned solely within the
confines of a classroom. It allows students to gain real-world experience, develop a
work ethic, and acquire skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
Group B: Fourteen-year-olds are still in the crucial stage of adolescence, where they
require time for personal growth, self-discovery, and building relationships.
Mandatory work experience might impose excessive responsibilities and restrict their
opportunities for leisure, self-exploration, and other formative experiences.
Group A: Work experience at a young age can help teenagers explore different career
paths and make more informed decisions about their future. It exposes them to various
industries, giving them a firsthand understanding of the demands and challenges of different occupations.
Group B: Adolescence is a time of significant emotional and physical changes. It is
important for teenagers to have adequate time for rest, relaxation, and leisure activities
during school holidays. Mandatory work experience may lead to increased stress,
fatigue, and burnout among fourteen-year-olds, potentially affecting their well-being and mental health.
